'spat' is correct, but you will find 'spit' also being used.
Spit in past tense is "spat."
a tombolo is a spit that joins the mainland to an island
It is called an isthmus.
Tombolo's are ridges of sand and shingle which join the mainland to an island. Tombolo's are created through the process of longshore drift. Where there is a change in the shape of the land, a spit forms in the shallow / sheltered water. A tombolo is formed where the spit continues to grow until it reaches an island, forming a link with the mainland

This is the definition of a "barrier spit". (A tombolo is a sandbar that connects the mainland to an island, forming a permanent or temporary isthmus, and the island can be known as a "tied island".)
Sand spits form when elongated sandbars remain in place due to wave action along a shoreline. The spit can remain attached to the shore as an isthmus, or a bar can be separated to form a barrier island. Tombolos can create the same form but in the opposite manner. An island near the shore accumulates sandbars in the separating strait, and can become a "tied island" when the tombolo creates a permanent land bridge.
What is a Tombolo?
A tombolo, from the Italian tombolo, derived from the Latin tumulus, meaning 'mound,' and sometimes translated as ayre (Old Norse eyrr, meaning 'gravel beach'), is a deposition landform in which an island is attached to the mainland by a narrow piece of land such as a spit or bar. Once attached, the island is then known as a tied island. Several islands tied together by bars which rise above the water level are called a tombolo cluster.[1] Two tombolos can form an enclosure (called a lagoon) that can eventually fill with sediment.

Some landforms made by deposition include beaches, sand dunes, alluvial fans, and deltas. These landforms are created as sediment is carried by wind, water, or ice and deposited in a new location.
A sandy area connected to the coastline at one end is called a sand spit. Sand spits are narrow strips of land that extend out into the water, often forming due to longshore drift and wave action. They can create sheltered areas and help protect the coastline from erosion.
