A spit is a coastal landform formed by the deposition of sediment, typically sand or gravel, which extends from the shoreline into a body of water. It is usually created by the action of longshore drift, where waves and currents transport sediment along the coast. Spits can vary in size and shape, often appearing as narrow stretches of land that are connected to the mainland at one end while extending out into the water at the other.
