Coastal Isle of Man accommodations

Whatever you're looking for on the Isle of Man - whether it's a traditional bucket and spade beach or just somewhere to stop and sit for a while - you'll find it along the island's stunning coastline. Port Erin sits within a beautiful secluded bay which offers a magnificent sweep of sheltered sandy beach and is popular with watersport enthusiasts and families alike. Boat trips to the Calf of Man's nature reserve and bird observatory also leave from here. Follow the walking trail around the coastline to The Sound in the busy harbour village of Port St Mary, home to Cregneash, a living museum which shows what life was like in the 19th century Manx crofting community. The picturesque village of Laxey is set in a deep valley on the island's east coast. It's home to the world's largest working waterwheel, Lady Isabella, which used to pump water to the mines, as well as the Laxey Mines Railway. Whilst in Laxey hop aboard the Snaefell Mountain Railway and head to the summit of the island's only mountain. Located on the west coast, Peel is a thriving Manx fishing port with a marine heritage that spans hundreds of years. The town is dominated by the magnificent ruins of Peel Castle. Head north and you'll find Ramsey, the second largest town on the island, with an impressive working harbour, masses of sand and shingle beach and Mooragh Park. If you're looking for something to make your pulse race then head to Maughold for a range of outdoor pursuits, such as kayaking, abseiling and coasteering.
