The Etel ria is an aber, that is to say a deep valley filled by the waters of the ocean with each rising tide, and emptying with each falling tide. The current effect is very impressive, and it is therefore not recommended to swim there. The place is very pleasant and worth a break because it is a fascinating natural spectacle to observe.

If the river Etel bears this pretty name Ria, it is because the Atlantic Ocean makes it run full and empty in rhythm with the tides.
