We took the boat over to the island, but when we returned, the tide had gone out allowing us to walk along the causeway. I’ve always wanted to go there - Brilliant!

I am deeply envious!

Gorgeous place, I've always wanted to visit there, and then Mount Saint Michel!
Best I've done is walk across the natural low-tide causeway in Bar Harbor, Maine. Just a natural gravel bar that leads from the town or Bar Harbor, to a nearby island. I got an hour on the island before I had to walk back.
That must be the causeway?
Another cool photo

That looks like there was a natural Bar Harbor-style causeway, a gravel bar at a convenient depth, and they added a stone roadway so wheeled vehicles could pass.
I'd love to visit, spend a lot of nice quiet time in the British Isles, with some definite time on the Dorset and Cornwall coasts.
We did see some cars parked in the island (people live on it), so the causeway is car worthy.
Dorset, Devon and Cornwall are great places to unwind. Dorset is the only county in England that does not have a motorway in it (Trivia Andy).
Great pic!
shareYes, Mount St Michel looks cool too!
shareIt looks like Mont Saint-Michel - even the name is the same.
shareHaving done a bit of research I genuinely thought there’d be a bigger connection, but apparently not 🤷♂️ (I’m not convinced - it can’t be a coincidence).
shareI was surprised - had no idea St Michael's Mount even existed. They're like twins.
We were supposed to go to the one in France when we visited the Normandy landing beaches but never made it because of some car issues - which is another story for another day. Funny now, but it wasn't at the time.
