The bay may look quite harmless, especially at low tide in fine weather, but this only makes it all the more treacherous.
Keep to the coastal paths and never venture onto the sands without an experienced guide, as the sea bed changes from day to day, the Sélune and Sée rivers keep changing course between the shore and the Mont, and the rising tide is unpredictable, so you may find yourself cut off before you even know it.
Not to mention the quicksands, which are not just an old wives' tale.
