The site best known to outsiders is Carnac , where remains of a dozen rows of huge standing stones run for over ten kilometers. Some of its ruins have been dated to at least 3300 BC—200 years older than England 's Stonehenge . Tthere is a legend that says that there were once 365 islands, there are now over 40 depending on the tide. GEOGRAPHY Tides and currents The gulf is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean by the Peninsula of Rhuys , but there is a 1km long gap between Port-Navalo (in the commune of Arzon ) and Kerpenhir (commune of Locmariaquer ). Because of this gap, there are strong Tidal currents. At this gap, water speeds can reach up to 8 Knot s. COMMUNES LOCATED ALONG THE GULF
