sandspit


Explanation:
Since the usual translation of "restinga" is sandspit, which fits the second description in your text, I think it's safe to say that it's a sandspit

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spit_(landform)
Wikipedia
A spit or sandspit is a deposition bar or beach landform found off coasts. It develops in places where re-entrance occurs, such as at cove's headlands, by the process of longshore drift and longshore currents.
