In addition to what others have mentioned here, you should also distinguish if it's a "place" or if it's a natural feature and tag accordingly.
For example, Potts Point the "point" (natural=cape) as in the land that sticks out into the water body is mapped like https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3956292591 and Potts Point the locality (place=suburb) that the area is known as is mapped like https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1647971432 Regarding Bends and Reaches https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reach_(geography) we don't have a widespread accepted way to map these, so it's okay to use place=locality as a standin until we do (in fact points were originally mapped this way until we agreed upon natural=cape).
