The Tendra Spit (Ukrainian: Тендрівська коса, romanized: Tendrivs'ka kosa), or Island of Tendra, is a sandbar in the Black Sea and part of Kherson Oblast in Ukraine.
The island separates the Gulf of Tendra from the Black Sea and is located at the southern and western part of the bay. In the west the island has a spit called Bili Kuchuhury which stretches east through the Gulf of Tendra as a shoal towards the Yahorlyk Kut peninsula. Bili Kuchuhury contains the Bili Kuchuhury Lighthouse.
The Tendra Lighthouse is also on the island.
