Lihou, Tidal island in Saint Peter's, Guernsey
The 38-acre island connects to Guernsey through a 760-meter causeway that emerges during low tide periods, allowing visitors to cross on foot.
The remains of a 12th-century priory dedicated to St Mary stand as the largest religious structure within the Bailiwick of Guernsey territory.
The island's traditional practice of seaweed harvesting for fertilizer reflects the agricultural methods of Channel Islands communities through generations.
Visitors must check tide schedules and allow 20 minutes to cross the causeway, as water levels determine access times to the island.
The location serves as a protected Ramsar wetland site, supporting over 200 seaweed species and numerous water birds in their natural habitat.
