Yet despite these frequent visits we discovered a delightful island, which we had paddled past on numerous occasions but had never bothered to land on. Access is restricted to a couple of hours either side of high water.
The views in all directions were stunning with shingle banks being revealed as the tide dropped and the inevitable Breton lighthouse on the horizon. We were unable to stay too long as the water receded but once afloat we were able to enjoy some time playing on some small tidal generated waves before we headed back.
One of the great pleasures of sea kayaking is the discovery of new destinations and it was satisfying to come across this small gem on Monday morning. I have not disclosed the exact location of this beautiful island so that if you come across this small piece of Brittany you will experience the same thrill of discovery that we did on Monday.
