A peninsula a piece of land that has three sides of it surrounded by land.

Another answer:

What the above writer meant was that a peninsula is a peice of land that has three sides surrounded by water. Actually, a peninsula is a area of land nearly surrounded by water but also has a section that is attached to a mainland by an isthmus. Florida is a peninsula, Hawaii is not because it is completely surrounded by water and is therefore an island.

for example: Hawaii is a peninsula-+
