Tue, 17 Dec 2013


The Old Breakwater in Port Erin has been closed to the public following damage caused by recent storms.

It's now fenced off and the public are reminded to heed the warning signs and not enter the closed area.

DOI Engineers are investigating the damage, however, it is unclear at present how long the breakwater will remain closed.
