These estuaries can be silent (6)

I believe the answer is:

inlets

(Other definitions for inlets that I've seen before include "Narrow channels of water running from sea or river" , "Bays or coves" , "Silent sort of coves" , "Silent strips of water" , "Silent as sea entries to land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
