Port Soderick

Port Soderick is a small hamlet to the south of Douglas, capital of the Isle of Man, once famed for its pleasure grounds and beach. In latter years there have been various attempts to rejuvenate the area, all of which have been unsuccessful to date.
The beach area has its own small promenade and hotel (latterly named "The Anchor" but now closed and abandoned), a suspended walkway (now closed and deemed unsafe), former oyster beds, large building formerly housing an amusement arcade, paddling pool (long since filled in by shingle from the incoming tide, and access the nearby glen of the same name. These days the place is something of a ghost town, disturbed only by the occasional dog walker but it once had its own funicular railway linking the sea level resort with the Douglas Head Marine Drive Railway atop the cliffs above, the remnants of which can still be traced today.
==Leisure facility==
The entire site was purchased in the 1990s by Pacini Ltd (an subsidiary of DeBeers) and the entire land was leased to Port Soderick Leisure Ltd a company set up by Andrew Evans of Douglas, Isle of Man with the sole purpose of rebuilding much of the site and operating a water sports facility at the area, primarily scuba diving, sailing, canoeing and jet ski rentals. The original building was gutted save for the original sprung dance floor and was concerted for the most part into the Anchor Pub. The centre opened to much applause and verbal support from the local community and was very popular during the summer. Pacini had however inadvertently leased the small wooden cafe at the site to a separate party who enforced their contract to be the sole supplier of food to the area. Thus robbed of the lucrative profits from food as alcohol consumption fell due to social concerns, the centre's financial viability was stretched. When Pacini decided to pull all future funding this resulted in the lease being given up and control handed to the cafe proprietor, who abandoned the water-sports and ran the pub for a short while before closing its doors for good.
The site has limitations mainly associated with decay of the building structures due to lack of maintenance and vandalism and the general deterioration of the old coastal walkways. In addition there is no sewer connection at the site and the sea outfall has long been destroyed.
