Beach works this weekend — here's what visitors need to know

By 3FM Published 28 March 2026

If you're planning a seaside visit to Port Erin this weekend, it's worth knowing that part of the beach will be temporarily off-limits. Port Erin Commissioners are urging locals and visitors to steer clear of a specific stretch of sand while essential maintenance work takes place.

Beach Closure: What You Need to Know

Sand relocation work will be underway along the beach from the Quarterdeck to Raglan Pier on both Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29. Heavy machinery will be in operation throughout the weekend, so the local authority is asking beach-goers to avoid the affected area during working hours.

Safety Tips for Your Visit

  • Keep away from the Quarterdeck to Raglan Pier section this weekend
  • Keep dogs well away from the work zone and ensure they remain under close control
  • Check back with Port Erin Commissioners for updates on when access resumes

While the works may limit beach access temporarily, Port Erin remains a stunning destination with plenty to explore. The picturesque bay, colourful seafront properties, and charming local amenities make it worth a return visit once the maintenance is complete. For the latest updates on beach access and other Isle of Man travel news, keep an eye on local announcements before you visit.
