Until the 13th century, the Spit had navigable straits in the middle, which allowed the city of Elblag (at this time part of the Teutonic State) direct access to Baltic Sea. Natural closing of the straits in late 13th century eliminated Elblag as an important sea port and motivated the Teutonic Order to invade Polish Pomerania, with its port city of Gdansk.

Frombork is a town in northern Poland, situated on Vistula Bay in the Warmia i Mazury voivodship with a population of 2700 (in 2000).
Bays The Curonian Lagoon (or Bay, Gulf) is sundered from the Baltic Sea by the Curonian Spit and belongs to Lithuania and Russia.
The bay is enclosed by a large curve of the shores of Gdańsk Pomerania in Poland (Cape Rozewie, Hel Peninsula) and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia (Sambian peninsula).
A spit is a type of bar or beach that develops where a re-entrant occurs, such as at a cove, bay, ria, or river mouth.
Spits are formed by the movement of sediment (typically sand) along a shore by a process known as longshore drift.
If the supply isn't interrupted, and the spit isn't breached by the sea (or, if across an estuary, the river) the spit may become a bar, with both ends joined to land, and a lagoon behind the bar.
