Derbyhaven Beach forms a crescent around a shallow, east-facing bay, which is protected by a breakwater and features a marina for leisure craft. The marina is not suitable for commercial vessels. The beach is composed mainly of shingle and is backed by a sea wall and the whitewashed buildings of the small village. Beyond the village, the beach is backed by a small, grassy verge.
The bay lies adjacent to Castletown Golf Links and hotel, and is highly favoured by windsurfers. The beach is also used for scuba diving. A narrow causeway leads from the golf course over to St Michael’s Island, known locally as Fort Island, which features the ruins of a 17th century fort and a 12th century Celtic-Norse chapel. Both sets of ruins are closed to the public, but there are a couple of walking paths on the island which offer scenic views.
This part of the coastline is a good place to come wildlife spotting. St Michael’s Island is a bird sanctuary, and dolphins and porpoises can occasionally be seen in the waters around the bay.
Derbyhaven Beach is adjacent to the Isle of Man Coastal Path.
