A spit is a landform found off coasts or lakeshores. Usually a long, narrow band of sand or shingle, they can develop at headlands, on beaches, or at the mouths of harbors. Frequently magnificent in appearance, spits by definition are natural wonders, with many designated as parks or nature reserves. A few have even been afforded UNESCO World Heritage status. Elsewhere, some of these landforms are so vast that they provide a platform for entire cities.
