Lovely little beach at the bottom of a lane. We walked down from the railway station which took about twenty minutes. It's all down hill (on the way!) but not hugely noticeable. Just be aware at the top, there is a short-cut which takes you through a woods and underneath the hugest rookery I've ever seen, with crows squawking incessantly! Cool to see though! Pretty walk through the village, alongside the river. The beach is accessible via a ramp, BUT it's very pebbly and probably not good for wheelchairs, unless you have some degree of mobility to be able to make your way across the stones. Lovely views out to sea though and around the bay. There's also a cafe which does all sorts, including Laxey homemade ice-cream (please make a dairy free version!). "Usual" lollies etc available from the freezer. There's also plenty of parking (May '25) but imagine it's slightly bonkers in the summer!

Laxey beach is a real gem of a local seaside. At high tide the beach is rocky but at low tide the sand is revealed and without the same seaweed issues they have at Douglas beach. The whole place has such a family feel about it. It is less touristy and crowded than more popular locations such as peel beach. The local eateries provide great opportunities for lunch with great local service. It also has some great local attractions and a wealth of heritage. Great family day out with the kids.

On a sunny day this has to be one of the best spots on the island. The beach is stoney so bring something comfy to sit in or perch on the wall. There's two great cafés serving coffee, light meals, snacks and ices. The beach is great for swimming, and there's a large raft for the kids to swim to. The beach has a good ramp and is quite short so ideal for kayaking or paddle boarding. Lovely spot!

Beautiful beach. Visited first in the dark for a solstice celebration, then in daylight after heavy rains as tide came in. Stunning. Also did the new years day dip here. Lots of fun but crazy parking situation, which was an exception, as its normally fine, off season anyway. And a few lovely options for casual eateries along it, too. Highly recommended

Along with Ballaugh, this is my favourite beach. The beach is cobble, so good for walking and swimming in the summer, this time it was stormy but the scenery and the atmosphere is magical.

Tea and ice cream places here are good. Public bathrooms at both sides of the beach. The beach it's self is mostly rocks especially with the tide in or mostly in.
