A sand-bank.
A common offshore deposit of sand is called a sandbar or shoal. These formations can create shallow areas in bodies of water, making them hazardous for navigation.

A long offshore underwater deposit of sand is called a sandbar or sandbank. These formations can extend for miles and are typically found in shallow coastal waters. Sandbars can shift over time due to currents and tides.
The most common type of wind deposit is sand dunes, formed by the wind carrying and depositing sand particles. Sand dunes can be found in deserts, beaches, and other arid regions where wind erosion and deposition occur.
That is known as a barrier island. It provides protection to the mainland from storm surge and erosion.
A deposit of wind-blown sand is called a sand dune. Sand dunes form in deserts, beaches, and other areas where wind is able to transport and deposit sand grains.
Imagine a landscape made almost entirely of sand. A sand dune is a deposit of wind-blown sand.

Spits and barrier islands are two depositional shoreline features created when longshore currents deposit sand. Spits are elongated sandbars that extend from the coast into open water, while barrier islands are long, narrow offshore deposits of sand running parallel to the shore. Both features are formed by the gradual accumulation of sand carried by longshore currents along coastlines.
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.
A deposit of windblown sand is referred to as a sand dune. Dunes occur naturally along coastlines. A manmade barrier of sand with some kind of landfill under it is referred to as a berm.
