So, it's not the bridge between Denmark and Sweden either, is it ?

No, not a bridge. It's not an artificial link such as a bridge, poontoon, causeway, etc.

No, with 1.2 km it's still a lot bigger than the one I'm after.

Do I have to count the border of the entire country? Or would a small unbroken bit like in an Enclave/Exclave work?

Cause I think the border of U.A.E within Oman within U.A.E is small

 

[Steph]

You don't have to count the whole border.

Nahwa, the UAE enclace within Madha, the Omani exclave within UAE, is still to big, it has 40 buildings!!

I'm not sure of the size of the border, but measuring it on Google Earth gives a guestimate of 2.6 km

Wait I remenber theres an island that became a penisula between Morocco and Spain?

But I dont recall what it was called..

 

[Steph]

Well, I consider you got it!

Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera.

A Spanish islands on the coast of Morroco, that become link to the continent by a small sand isthmus, and the border is only 87 m there!
