Port Erin

Nestling between the Southern Hills of the Isle of Man with its gently sloping sheltered sandy beach is the little quiet town of Port Erin. A popular holiday destination since Victorian times, today Port Erin still enjoys the tourist trade, as well as local trade. An old smuggling site, modern town and walkers paradise, it all call be found in Port Erin. The town offers a range of modern and unique shops, pubs and places to eat, and is home to the Erin Arts Centre. Here the world famous Mananan International Festival of Music and the Arts is held every summer, as well as screen films and holds the Sir James Mellon Gallery.

Port Erin is a popular departure point for charter boats to the Calf of Man, a small island off the southwest coast of the Isle of Man that is separated by a narrow stretch of water called the Calf Sound.

Port Erin is the Steam Railway's southern terminus and the magnificently preserved vintage rail system can transport you to and from Douglas, the Isle of Man's capital. Opposite the station is the excellent Port Erin Steam Railway Museum.
