A tidal prone island is one which connects to the mainland
at low tide at a time when it can be reached by foot. Normally man made paths
are build up on to connect these islands for easy access. But sometimes these
islands can become life hazardous if they get submerged by the sea. We have
list down the top 5 amazing destinations which are not only mysterious in the
way they disappear but beautiful though to experience. So if you ever visit
these places check the schedule of the high tide first.

Gois road which connects the Gulf of Burnёf with the island of
Noirmoutier. The road is unique in a way that it disappears under water about
twice everyday for few hours.
So people can only use the road for some time in a day however
in the sudden high tides sometimes people get stuck in midst of tides, but
fortunately there are elevated rescue towers for the people to climb and wait
for the help.
