promontory
Most erosion along a shoreline typically occurs at point B, which is closer to the water's edge. Waves and currents tend to be stronger at this point, leading to more significant erosion compared to the area farther inland at point A.
The most common name for a point of land extending into a body of water is peninsula. Usually a peninsula has water around three of its sides. The Yucatan Peninsula is an example of a peninsula.Other words that may mean the same are cape, headland, point, and spit. A cape is usually a large point of land that goes into the sea. A headland juts into a bay and has high cliffs. A spit is a sandy point of land extending into a body of water from a beach.
A cape is a geographical feature that typically extends into a body of water, such as an ocean or sea. It is formed by the erosion of the coastline, resulting in a point of land projecting outwards into the water.
The lowest elevation limiting stream erosion is called the base level. It refers to the point at which a stream can no longer erode its bed any lower. This can be either sea level for rivers that flow into the ocean or a lake level for rivers that flow into a lake.
South Carolina's lowest point is actually level with the Atlantic Ocean

A cape is a point of land extending into a body of water.
Beaches are prone to erosion by waves as they consist of unconsolidated materials, mostly sand. Point Reyes is a rocky outcrop that has been battling the waves for millenium. So, by the way you have worded your question, the point is more resistant to wave erosion that the beach.Now, which is eroding and which is accumulating sediment is a different question.
A point extending into a body of water is called a cape. The cape sticks out into the water beyond the adjacent coast.
It is a point with a line extending from it.
