A tombolo is formed where the spit continues to grow until it reaches an island, forming a link with the mainland

How are a sand spit and a tombolo alike?
Sand spits form when elongated sandbars remain in place due to wave action along a shoreline. The spit can remain attached to the shore as an isthmus, or a bar can be separated to form a barrier island. Tombolos can create the same form but in the opposite manner. An island near the shore accumulates sandbars in the separating strait, and can become a "tied island" when the tombolo creates a permanent land bridge.
