Peninsular
Water on three
Peninsular describes something relating to or characteristic of a peninsula—a piece of land nearly surrounded by water.
The peninsular coastline offered harbors on three sides.
The word often appears in proper names: the Peninsular War (fought in the Iberian Peninsula), Peninsular Malaysia.
As a noun, a peninsular is a person who lives on a peninsula, though this use is uncommon.
