Many moons ago I visited Jersey (the one in the English Channel). One of the many highlights was visiting La Corbière[1], a lighthouse only accessible via a causeway that is submerged at high tide[2, 3]. Fascinating place.

- tombrossman 6y agoI live there now and it's great. If you return try the guided walk to Seymour Tower. I did a short blog post back in 2012 with photos, including the rescue tower halfway out. https://www.tombrossman.com/blog/2012/seymour-tower-walk/ https://www.tombrossman.com/blog/2012/seymour-tower-walk/ TL;DR 30-40 foot tidal range. Sea level rises faster then walking speed at times, you really must pay close attention.
