Headland
A headland is a special form of the peninsula , which is characterized by the fact that its connection to the mainland is no narrower than its greatest width.
At the headland, the width tapers from the connection to the mainland, so that its floor plan is reminiscent of the shape of a tongue . However, the term is usually only used when the land mass protruding into the water is elongated and relatively narrow in shape.
