Q. Are there any laws to prevent you camping on beaches on the Isle of Man?
Also if pubs are phoned are they likely to let you camp in their gardens if they have one?
There are no campsites in the South or very North of the Island which is making doing the coastal path difficult.

A. Free camping is available in Sulby on Yn Cladagh (The River Meadow) with 2 great pubs nearby - The Sulby Glen and The Ginger.
Also camping is available at Kirk Michael.

A. The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom. It is not England, Scotland, Ireland, or Wales. Therefore, to quote the law, or regulations, which apply to the UK does not really answer the question. I would imagine if you are in a reasonably remote area of the Island (though it is very small), and avoid obvious cultivated farm land, pitch late, and leave very early (leaving it clean) then you would probably be OK. There is no harm in asking at a farm - they can only say no. Well, I am gong to try it this summer.
