Point of Ayre Beach

Point of Ayre beach sits on the Isle of Man’s most northerly tip. The name comes from Old Norse “eyrr” which means a shingle beach and so this is a large shingle and gravely beach. This remote beach provides a home to flowering heathland, nesting birds, seals and the dramatic sea all combine to make the Point of Ayre a truly remarkable ever-changing landscape.

The seasonal Visitor Centre houses exhibits and displays portraying the diversity of the wildlife found at the Ayres and a short film illustrates some of the highlights of the surrounding area.
