Couldn't 'a point to circumnavigate' lead to confusion because peninsulas needs to be circumnavigated too? Isn't the current distinction clear enough? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:natural%3Dpeninsula#See_also > What you will probably need to consider is how to distinguish > natural=peninula from named parts of the coast or named coastal areas Isn't this clear by definition? The current definition of natural=peninsula is 'a piece of land nearly surrounded by water or projecting into water from a larger land mass' while a coastal area is longish. > and if you want to include more specific coastal land forms like spits. Good point! It might be better to tag spits separately (natural=spit seems obvious), as they differ from peninsulas quite a lot with regard to their shape. Should i also propose tags for coastal areas and spits?
