Description

Laxey Beach is situated on the east coast on Isle of Man. It has a pebble and sand beach, which gets progressively sandier the closer you go to the low-water mark. The beach sits in the picturesque Laxey Bay. It is bordered by cliffs to the south and by the harbour breakwaters to the north. Have a stroll along Laxey beach or walk the harbour. Look out into the bay and see the Northern Gannet feeding. Also look for Eurasian Curlew , Black Guillemot, Peregrine Falcon, and many more birds.
