By bike, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay feature as both the finish line and a stopover on three major marked bike routes:

On foot, fantastic routes for hiking enthusiasts:

Arriving at Mont Saint-Michel:
Mont Saint-Michel can be reached via the walkway bridge from the walking/cycling route (Pontorson/Le Mont-Saint-Michel), or from the paths marked out from the car park. The “Le Passeur” shuttle bus runs from the car park and the dam, free of charge and continually throughout the day*.
Bicycles are welcome and allowed to circulate 24 hours a day on the road/footpath on the walkway bridge from the dam to the Mont Saint-Michel .
However, sharing access roads with pedestrians and shuttles can be uncomfortable for cyclists. We therefore recommend, particularly with young children, to park your bikes in the dedicated bike parks (list below), then take a free shuttle or finish your journey on foot to the village.
Parking
