peninsulas are formed when waves start hitting a section of rock on the coastline that is not as easilly eroded as the rock around it. Over time it starts to stick out as a headland and if that process continues for enough years, the waves hitting the headland will start to curve around the sides and begin eroding the softer rock behind.
