Laxey Breakwater
Isle of ManLaxey breakwater is situated on the Northern end of Laxey Bay, There is plenty of parking available at the free car park right next to the beach. From here, the breakwater looks tantalisingly close but to access it you have to walk a litte way back up the river toward the Shore Hotel, and then turn right and follow the well marked footpath past the holiday cottages, up onto the headland and then down the steps to the breakwater. The path is steep in parts, but is sound underfoot. It will take no longer than 10 minutes to travel from your car to the fishing spot.
The breakwater itself has a narrow back wall, which you can fish from (take care) as well as a raised platform around the lighthouse area. There is some rough ground close to the breakwater itself, but clean sand is found only a few yards out.
