Peninsula

A peninsula is a landform that extends into a body of water, such as an ocean or sea, and is surrounded by water on three sides while connected to a larger landmass on the fourth side. It often features a variety of landscapes, including coastlines, beaches, and sometimes mountainous areas. Peninsulas can range in size from small promontories to large land masses like the Arabian Peninsula. They are significant for their strategic locations, natural resources, and unique ecosystems, often supporting diverse human populations and ecosystems due to their access to water and land.
