Curonian Spit
The Curonian Spit is a sandy peninsula in the Baltic Sea, 99 km long but only 0.5 to 4 km wide. Its northern part is in Lithuania Minor and its south in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad Oblast: both countries regard it as a national park and it's a bi-national UNESCO World Heritage Site.
