A peninsula is a piece of land which is connected to a larger landmass but sticks out into water, so that it is mostly surrounded by water except, as you say, on one side.
An isthmus is a narrow piece of land that connects two larger landmasses but has water on two sides. Panama is a famous isthmus.
