The small, picturesque chapel on the island is a landmark of the region and is visible from afar. It can be reached via a headland at low tide. There is more information and pictures about it in my travel documentary from 2018:

Saint-Michel Beach in Erquy offers a wild setting overlooking an islet accessible at low tide. In just a few steps, you can reach its small perched chapel, surrounded by the sea. It's a popular spot for swimming, shore fishing, and seaside strolls.

The Chapel of Saint-Michel on the Îlot Saint-Michel off the coast of Erquy is a small but striking landmark on the north coast of Brittany. Built in the 19th century, it is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel. The chapel stands on a rocky hill on the island and is only accessible from the mainland at low tide via a natural sand and stone causeway. At high tide, the island is surrounded by the sea, giving the chapel an almost mystical feel.
