Children also love playing on the beach which is patrolled in the peak summer weeks by RNLI lifeguards. There are also rock pools waiting to be explored at every low tide around the Mount's causeway.
St Michael's Mount
The main attraction undeniably though is the Mount itself. St Michael's Mount is a beautiful tidal island that can be reached at low tide by walking across it's cobbled causeway. Local ferryboats are available for use when the tide is high. There is much to see on the island - take a tour of its castle summit, the church, harbour and subtropical gardens.
