Not sure if I’m thinking of somewhere else, but is/was there a tidal road linking the island? That you could only drive at low tide.

Lindesfarne?

It's a few years since we last visited MStM,
('maybe 10' turns out it is 14!),
but there was a permanent causeway linking it to the mainland
and extensive hardened parking.
This wiki article details the project to flush silt out of the bay
and return MStM to an island,
with parking on the mainland. -
I think it used to be that way, now there's a raised road. Only Peds + local traffic and tourist shuttle buses allowed though. There's a big car park for visitors about 2km away where the shuttles run from

Mont St Michel, not to be confused with St Michael's Mount which is good but not as good.
Definitely recommend a visit, but avoid in summer because it gets overrun with tourists. We visited on a dry January day and it was brilliant, almost empty.
