• Every month, you can catch sights of low, high as well as extreme tides at the Mont Saint Michel Bay. Additionally, a few times every year, these tides can get extremely dangerous.

• For a major part of every month, there are extremely high tides here, which turn Mont Saint Michel into an island, while the low tides on other days let you experience spectacular views of the ocean bed, and the Mont Saint Michel Bay Walk.

• These are times when you can even walk on the sand around the island, since there is little to no water here at all.

• However, for a few days in the year, these tides can become very dangerous, changing the entire region very quickly.

• On such occasions, the sand can also become quite unstable, even making a person sink into it, just like quicksand.
