Hello masters of geographic eloquence,

A rock arch bridges across to a rock formation
seen in the screen right of the image/photograph.
It's not an independent 'island'.
What word(s) best describe this isolated rock outcrop ?

Thanks for any suggestions.

That formation is called an arch, and it connects what may soon become a stack to the main coastline. The key points of both archs and stacks is that they form by erosion.

In contrast, a peninsula is typically a larger landmass formed by accretion or alternative means other than erosion. Italy is a peninsula, to give an example.
