🏝️ Tidal Islands of the World

These are notable tidal islands — islands joined to the mainland or to one another by a causeway or tombolo that is covered by the sea at high tide and laid bare at low tide, so that they are cut off from the land twice each day. Each profile shows where the island lies, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
