Port Erin (54°05'N., 4°46'W.), a small harbor, lies at the head of a small bay, 1 mile SE of Bradda Head. A rock, which covers at HW, and a shoal patch, with a depth of 1.5m, lie close to the coast, on the N side of this bay. The ruins of a breakwater extend from the S entrance point and are marked by a buoy. The harbor lies in the SE corner of the bay and has a pier which dries at its outer end. There are depths alongside the pier of 4.2m at springs and 3.3m at neaps. The harbor is used by fishing boats and pleasure craft. The bay affords good anchorage, in sheltered depths of 5 to 8m, sand and clay.
