From this beach you can embark on the crossing of the bay on foot, to reach Mont Saint-Michel. But pay attention to the tide times. Remember to do your research before you start.

It is from the Bec d'Andaine that you can reach the island of Tombelaine and then Mont-Saint-Michel at low tide. This shortcut can only be done with the help of a guide. The crossing can be dangerous due to shifting sands and tides.

The beach section is fantastically beautiful and not "only" suitable for crossing to Saint-Michel 😉. We walked on the beach and through the mudflats, on the sandbanks and found many creatures and shells. Our daughter thought it was great. The beach is really long and worth a detour.
