Transportation Tips - For a self-driving trip, rent a car in the UK and add it to your Isle of Man ferry ticket. It's very convenient to board and disembark by car. Local Attractions - Douglas is a beautiful, clean, and uncrowded city. Whether you're sitting in a restaurant or on the beach, you can enjoy the tranquil seascape. Point of Ayre Lighthouse, located at the northernmost tip of the Isle of Man, boasts a famous lighthouse and is a great place to check it out. The Thousla Cross, located at the southernmost tip of the Isle of Man, is marked by a small cross. From the hill, you can overlook the Calf of Man across the water, and on clear days, you might even spot seals. Hotel - This time, we stayed at the Queen's Hotel, which was just a few minutes' drive from the ferry. Parking is available on the street outside the hotel.
