Fenella Beach is a short strip of sand that connects St Patrick's Isle to the rest of the Isle of Man. The beach is situated in a small, sheltered cove and is popular for water sports. The well-preserved ruins of Peel Castle dominate the beach, with the castle occupying most of St Patrick's Isle. The island has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and was once a military stronghold, boasting commanding views over the surrounding area.

St Patrick's Isle is said to be the first place St Patrick visited on the Isle of Man when he converted the inhabitants to Christianity. Today, visitors can explore the castle by taking an audio tour or walking around the outside on a coastal path. The beach is flanked by rocky cliffs on either side and features a 7-foot-high carving of Fenella, a character in Walter Scott's novel, Peveril of the Peak. The statue is carved out of a single piece of ash tree.

The beach has parking facilities nearby, with additional parking options available in Peel. The beach is well signposted, and there are plenty of places to get something to eat nearby. Fenella Beach is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a unique combination of natural beauty and historical significance.

Peel Fenella Beach is adjacent to the Isle of Man Coastal Path.
