The Cosy Nook Café is a one-of-a-kind seasonal beach café and bar set right on the golden sands of Port Erin Beach. Open from Easter through to the end of September, this laid-back coastal destination combines beachside charm with the best in local food and drink—making it a must-visit for sunny days, seaside strolls, and relaxed evenings by the water.
The site is operated by the award-winning Foraging Vintners, the Island’s own craft winery known for their sparkling wines, ciders, meads, and signature ginger beer. At Cosy Nook, they bring their locally made drinks directly to the beach, along with a carefully curated selection of imported favourites. Whether you're sipping a chilled glass of fizz, trying a small-batch cocktail, or enjoying a refreshing pint, the drinks menu is designed to capture the easygoing spirit of summer.
In collaboration with Noa Bakehouse, The Cosy Nook also serves up a mouth-watering menu of quality food, coffee, and baked treats. Known for their sourdough breads, inventive sandwiches, and sweet bakes, Noa brings a taste of their renowned Douglas bakery to the coast. Whether you're craving a fresh pastry and flat white in the morning, or a late afternoon snack with your drink, there's always something tasty on offer—perfect for beachgoers, walkers, and sun seekers alike.
With its prime beachfront location, The Cosy Nook Café is more than just a place to eat and drink—it's a destination.
