Piece of land with water surrounding it on three sides peninsula.
A peninsula is a geographical landform that is connected to the mainland but is surrounded by water on three sides. The remaining side is typically connected to the mainland, and the surrounding water can be from oceans, seas, lakes, or rivers. The word "peninsula" is derived from the Latin words "paene" (almost) and "insula" (island), emphasizing its almost-island-like characteristics. Examples of peninsulas include the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the Italian Peninsula, and the Malay Peninsula.
