"Castletown:Birdwatching at Scarlett Point" Top 5 Page for this destination Isle of Man Things to Do Tip by christine.j

From the Market Square there are signs leading to Scarlett Point. This is one of the birdwatchers' points on the Isle of Man and it's easily accessible without a car.It's a walk of about 30 minutes from the town centre, not more.
There is an information centre, but it was closed on Mondays (which was when we were there), one more reason to go back.
Sitting on the benches there was great, just watching the tide and the sea and of course the many, many birds there. We saw oystercatchers, knuts, turnstones and even two red-billed choughs, plus about 1000 gulls.

Directions: Just follow the signs from the market square.
