The Niarbyl Cafe
The Niarbyl Cafe is set on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the Isle of Man. In Manx, the name 'Niarbyl' means 'the tail', and refers to Niarbyl's unique tail of rocks jutting out into the Irish Sea.
The area around Niarbyl Bay was acquired by Manx National Heritage through bequests and purchase, and is now part of the co-ordinate presentation of the scenic and historical landscape of the Island. Best known for the thatched cottages on the shore, Niarbyl has, for many decades, been one of the most popular places to visit. The area is not only visually exceptional but has a deeper importance geologically and historically to the Isle of Man. The interpretation and explanation of the significance of the shore area and beyond is presented within a visitor centre providing excellent food as well as much food for thought.
