Speckled Frost Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 On the subject of Cornaa - what is that building again on the left as you enter the glen? I was told it was some sort of ammunitions factory during WW2. Of course, I was also told it was haunted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddy Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 We used to skive school to go swimming at Cornaa. It was really great fun but we all had cuts on our legs from the rocks and we had to wear trainers in the sea because of the stones. For safety and soft sand underfoot you can't beat Ramsey between the south stone pier and the Queen's Pier when the tide is about halfway out. Unfortunately Ramsey has raw sewage pumped out into the Bay so beware of floaters. Probably best to avoid actually, I don't think it's what you're looking for, but I grew up swimming down at Smeale beach and jumping in off the sewage outlet so a bit of sh*t doesn't bother me. Nice.

puddy Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Anytime. I don't know why it is but whenever there's a discussion on here about sh*t I always have to join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Laxey beach is great for swimming - when the tide's in you can swim to the raft just off-shore, and when it's out it stays really shallow so it's dead warm - by far the warmest place to swim. Fenalla beach in Peel is nice too - if you bring goggles and a snorkel there's loads of starfish and crabs when you get deep. Gets quite busy though.

Grib Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Government web site has some good information: http://www.gov.im/dlge/enviro/govlabs/bathingwater.xml The link at the bottom of that page for 2003 results, (also shows results for 1999, 2000, 20001 & 2002) will give a good idea of the cleanest beaches. http://www.gov.im/lib/docs/dlge/enviro/gov...quality2003.pdf Roll on IRIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
