Scary incoming tide & silly tourists on sand at World Heritage Site Mont St Michel Normandy France

Scary incoming tide & silly tourists on sand at World Heritage Site Mont St Michel Normandy France, filmed on 2.7.19
One of the fastest killer tides in the world - hard to outrun the tide at its height. Safety wardens monitor the beach with warning klaxons and special rescue divers are on standby to deal with the folks who get caught out on the sands. No real excuse for staying on the sands when sirens are going and folk waving you off etc!

That tide was so scary that I seriously need counseling!

I don't get the "silly tourists" bit.

[@WildPlacePictures]

Errr.... folk frolicking on the sand whilst one of the fastest tides in the world rushes in and safety wardens up above are sounding warning sirens and waving you in to safety quickly?! Maybe silly is too soft....

@@WildPlacePictures I didn't see one single person on that sand when the tide came in.

@@superchickenlips1 visible from 3.32 onwards, a few singles and a large group, hence the wardens sounding sirens etc

@@WildPlacePictures fair enough. In my defence they are tiny and on screen very briefly.

@@superchickenlips1 fair point - I work on a laptop and easy to forget that others may be watching on mobiles and miss minor detail

This is a thoroughly unimpressive event. If I was there I would’ve left after five minutes.

Place is boring af. Mainly old people go there on tours and there hasn't been a drowning in years.
