Mount (Bahía)

"Mount's Bay (Cornish: Baya an Garrek) is a large, sweeping bay on the English Channel coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom, stretching from the Lizard Point to Gwennap Head. In the north of the bay, near Marazion, is St Michael's Mount; the origin of name of the bay. Presenting a benign aspect to summer visitors of a large, scenic, natural harbour, in an onshore winter gale it presents a great danger to shipping as a "maritime trap", especially in the days of sailing ships with an excess of 150 known wrecks in the nineteenth century. The eastern side of the bay centred around Marazion and St Michael's Mount was designated as a Marine Conservation Zone in January 2016."
