peninsulas are formed when waves start hitting a section of rock on the coastline that is not as easilly eroded as the rock around it. Over time it starts to stick out as a headland and if that process continues for enough years, the waves hitting the headland will start to curve around the sides and begin eroding the softer rock behind. If this continues long enough, that softer rock behind will slowly disappear and you may end up with an offshore rock attached to the land by a sandy beach or a "bridge" of land known in geography or geology as a "saddle".

There are many different ways. In the case of Michigan's two peninsulas, they were formed by the retreating and melting glaciers. The formation of the Great Lakes left behind the great state of Michigan.

Water causes sand to shift and accumulate, over time. If you look at Presque Isle Peninsula, in Erie, PA, from the air, you see how water has been moving sand from west to east.
Much of the State of Florida is a Peninsula. Sand has accumulated over millions of years. Dig a hole anywhere in the State and all you hit is sand and water.
