What visitors say
Definitely the gem on the Island! Port Erin beach strikes the balance of allowing dog walkers to use the beach, morning and evening and keeping it family friendly during the peak times of the day. No boat launch from the beach (the harbour has a good slipway though) or speed boats / jetskis among swimmers and paddle boarders. Even on the busiest day it's nothing like as busy as we find with beaches back across. Beautiful golden sand, rock pools, beach huts to hire, beach saunas with ice baths and hot tub with cold showers, drinks bar, SUP hire, and plenty of eateries and other places to drink or grab an ice cream etc. They even comb the beach most days to clear it of seaweed making this the most beautiful beach in IOM. Not to mention the stunning sunsets! If you visit just one beach on the Island make it Port Erin, you won't be disappointed.

A lovely visit to Port Erin Beach. Seeing the kids flying kites and playing in the water. The beach huts were cute. The people were very friendly. We had a lovely walk before heading for an ice cream

Lovely sandy beach with calm shallow seas. Great views of land and sea. Port Erin (Manx: Purt Çhiarn 'lord's port' or originally 'Irish port') is a seaside village in the south-west of the Isle of Man, in the historic parish of Rushen. It was previously a seaside resort before the decline of the tourist trade. Administratively it is designated as a village district, with its own board of Commissioners. The district covers around 1 square mile, and is adjacent to: Port St Mary to the south-east; the main part of Arbory and Rushen parish district to the north and east; the sea to the west; and an exclave of Arbory and Rushen parish district (including the village of Cregneash) to the south. Following recent residential expansion, the settlement is now contiguous with that of Port St Mary, and on 18 July 2018 Tynwald authorised a public enquiry into the proposed expansion of the district boundary to include some of this expansion. The village was twinned with Latour-de-France.
