Port Erin Beach is dog-friendly but has restrictions where dogs are not allowed between 10 am and 7 pm during the season from 1st May to 30th September.
Port Erin is a sheltered sandy bay beach on the south of the island protected by the high cliffs of Bradda Head. The beach offers some variety with some areas of rocks and pebbles and some great soft sand.
During the peak beach season, you get beach volleyball nets and a pontoon for swimmers in the sea.
You also have Spaldrick beach, a small pebble beach hidden around the corner to the north of the main Port Erin beach. This can be reached from the main beach at low tide or from the coast path.
Port Erin is not just one of the best beaches on the Isle of Man but a great location for walking, with some excellent walks in this area; try the hill walk to Bradda Head, with great views back over Port Erin.
There are fishing trips and excursions to the Calf of Man from the small Port Erin harbour.
Facilities at Port Erin Beach include a promenade, toilets, beach showers, parking including electric charging points, shops, kiosks, bars, ice-creams and beach hut rentals.
