Caicos is correct. It is French for "a stretch of sand".
He is right about the "langue de chat" as well. I think Melanie was also mixed up with "Sables" (acute accent on the e) which are sweet biscuits too.

It's French, as you may know already, and it is a sandy causeway. Example: "A marée basse une langue de sable permet d'accéder à l'île de Bananec". At low tide a sandy causeway allows access to the island of Bananec.
I think the other answerer was thinking about langues de chat, which are a delicious little biscuit.

Literally it means "sand tongue," which doesn't seem to make much sense, I admit. But I think what you're referring to is the name of a sort of cookie (if memory serves). It's kind of like a sugar cookie.
