The difference is that a spit is that one end of a spit is connected to the shore, and the other end is in the ocean. A sand bar is close to the shore, but is not attached to it. Sandbars can be underwater or poking out of the surface of the ocean.

How are a sand spit and a tombolo alike?
Sand spits form when elongated sandbars remain in place due to wave action along a shoreline. The spit can remain attached to the shore as an isthmus, or a bar can be separated to form a barrier island. Tombolos can create the same form but in the opposite manner. An island near the shore accumulates sandbars in the separating strait, and can become a "tied island" when the tombolo creates a permanent land bridge.

Why is a barrier island important?
Barrier islands are created by different processes. Four known processes of barrier island formation are listed below. 1) Longshore drift is responsible for the creation of some barrier islands. Longshore drift carries sediment parallel to the shore. A sand spit will form if sediment supply is sufficient. The sand spit will increase in length with time and continued deposition of sediments from longshore drift. A large storm events may breach the spit and create and new tidal inlet in the sand spit which may cause the sand spit to break away from the mainland. When this occurs, a barrier island forms. 2) A slow rate of sea level rise may cause the inundation of aeolian beach dunes. The dunes form the base of the new barrier island. 3) A submerged offshore bar may emerge to form a barrier island. The original submerged bar was deposited by wave energy. 4) An abandoned delta may lead to the formation of a barrier island.

What is the difference between a bar and a spit?
A bar develops by the process of Longshore drift,which occurs due to waves meeting at the beach at an angle and backwashing perpendicular to the shore, moving sediment down the beach on a zigzag pattern. A spit is a deposition landform found off coasts. At one end, spits connect to land and extend into the sea.
