Ballagaraghyn
Isle of ManBallagaraghyn is the common name for the stretch of beach half way between Jurby and Blue Point. Access to the beach is down a roughly surfaced lane about a mile north from Jurby airfield. The turning to the lane is on the left hand side, shortly after passing a house which has a three legs marking on the stone gatepost (if travelling from the south). There is parking for several cars at the end of the lane, and the beach is a 50 yard walk, although some scrambling is required to get down the short steep bank.
The beach itself is relatively shallow, and is typical of most along the north west coast. The gently sloping sand/shingle mix gives way to a series sandbars and gulleys at low water. When fishing for flounders and bass, it pays to make a mental note of where the deepest gulleys are (although they can change during winter storms).
