Écréhous, Archipelago in Saint Martin, Jersey.
The Écréhous consists of three main islets that form an extensive rocky plateau measuring 300 meters long when exposed during low tide periods.
The archipelago received its name from Norse settlers, with 'hou' derived from 'holm' meaning islet, and was granted to Val Richer Abbey in 1203.
Medieval monks maintained a priory with a navigation light on the islands, serving both religious purposes and maritime safety for passing vessels.
Visitors can reach the archipelago via 15-minute boat rides from Jersey's east coast, with tours available through local maritime companies.
The location experiences a twelve-meter tidal range, transforming the landscape twice daily from submerged reefs to exposed sandbanks and rocky formations.
