Burgh Island, Tidal island in Bigbury-on-Sea, England.
Located 18 miles from Plymouth, Burgh Island sits along the Devon coast, connected to the mainland by a sandy causeway during low tide.
The island's architecture includes a 14th-century Pilchard Inn and an Art Deco hotel constructed in 1929, later extended in 1932.
The island provided inspiration for Agatha Christie's novels 'And Then There Were None' and 'Evil Under the Sun', featuring her dedicated writing retreat.
Access to the island involves walking across the causeway at low tide or using the mechanical sea tractor when waters rise.
The hotel maintains 25 rooms named after notable guests who stayed there, preserving the 1930s style throughout the property.
