Peninsula vs. Cape

A cape is connected to the mainland by a much larger mass of land than a peninsula. Peninsulas are connected to the mainland by a thin landmass.


An easy way to think about the difference is that a peninsula is almost an island while a cape is not. A cape is also surrounded by water on two sides and a peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides.
