A coastal split, also known as a coastal barrier or spit, is a narrow landform that extends into a body of water, typically formed by the accumulation of sand and sediment carried by wave action and longshore drift. It connects the mainland to an island or extends into a bay, creating a sheltered area behind it. Coastal splits can influence local ecosystems, sedimentation patterns, and coastal navigation. They are dynamic features that can change due to natural processes like erosion and deposition.
