Mont-Saint-Michel, France
This island, with its fast and fickle tides, was a notorious prison during the French Revolution. Today, visitors arrive by choice, seeking to explore the 11th-century abbey, dine in fine restaurants and take in the impressive evening illuminations. Only a narrow causeway built in 1880 links the island to the mainland, although a bridge is due to be completed in 2012.

You can learn how to escape quicksand off this French island! Mont Saint Michel is a medieval island commune off the coast of Normandy with some extreme tides. At low-tide, the ocean recedes and you can trek across wet sand to the island, but it's best to go with a guide who can teach you how to escape should you get stuck! Think you could escape?
