Some people may have misunderstood your question. An isthmus is a strip of land that connects two large land masses while separating two bodies of water. A key is a tiny island (the Florida Keys are a string of islands).

A peninsula is a land mass that is surrounded mostly by water, but connected to the main land (which could be a continent or an island).

Capes are small versions of peninsulas. They are very similar but smaller. There really is no clear between a cape and a peninsula, except the size.

Notable capes are:
Cape of Good Hope located at the southwestern coast of South Africa;
Mys Kanin Nos located in Russia at the Barents Sea, very near the White Sea;
Cabo de la Nao located on the east coast of Spain, on the Mediterranean Sea, a little south of Valencia;
Cap Bon located in the northeastern area of Tunisia, on the Mediterranean Sea;
Cap Vert located on the western coast of Senegal, where the capital city, Dakar, is located;
Cape Three Points located on the southern coast of Ghana, on the Gulf of Guinea;
Cap Masoala located on the northern portion of Madasgascar toward the north;
Cape Spencer located on the southern coast of Australia, on the Spencer Gulf, near Adelaide;
Cape Melville located on the northern coast of Australia, on the east side of Cape York Peninsula;
Cabo Cruz located on the southern coast of Cuba, toward the eastern end of Cuba;
Cape Prince of Wales located at the western tip of the Seward Peninsula on the western coast of Alaska;
Cape Bauld at the northern tip of the island of Newfoundland in Canada;
Cape Cod on the eastern coast of Massachusetts in the U.S.;
Cape Flattery in the northwestern portion of Washington, near to Vancouver Island.

Also, peninsulas and capes will often have tiny projecting lands. These may be called heads, points, etc. These are always tiny.

Look at a globe, at Florida. Now imagine the U.S. saying, "Hey Europe, bite my Florida."
