It is home to one of the most famous and deadly motorcycle races around the world, and the island of man will be the star of Brad pitt and Channing TatumThe upcoming documents on the TTS, which starts next week.
But there is much more to the British island than just this Daredevil competition, according to the author, photographer and adventure group leader Andy North.
For his new book, Wild Guide: Isle of Man, Available to Buy NowAndy traveled the length and width of the island to photograph the ‘Wilder Side’.
He says the island of man is unique in the variety of landscapes and wild spaces he manages to fit into his 572 km2 land mass.
And this is shown by the fact that it is one of the 25 best places in 2025 by the Bbc.
Andy adds: ‘This little island in the middle of the Irish Sea, has mostly forgotten mass tourism and is the perfect antidote to the tension and tribes of contemporary life.
“Forget the chaotic rate of Urban living with its traffic jams and embraces the national slogan” Town Liooar “, which means” there is time enough “.
Here Andy reveals some of his favorite hidden gems and secret beaches from across the island, through beautiful photography …

Cain’s Strand Beach: There are beautiful red plates of sandstone, a stream and a beautiful sculpture cave to explore at this in Ham. Plus fishing of the rocks and sometimes stamps and dolphins to be seen
Laxey Outer Harbor: It is worth running on and around the Laxey Valley to take the views to the sea and over the bay and then climb some antique steps to reach the outer haven. This is a very quiet place with good sea fish from the back of the breakwater
Ballacuberagh Pool: A lovely long, deep pool, sheltered under trees in the Sulby River, just where it sweeps sharply east on his journey to the sea. There is a file on the road nearby. At the turn in the river, as it starts to flow east, you will see a gap in the shore and a short, steep path down to the river
Sand Dragon Beach, Glen Maye: This rock formation is in a beautiful secret in Ham surrounded by many strange rock formations, one of which looks like a digging dragon
Port Skillian: Note friendly stamps and a community of cold water swimmers at the Port Skillian Cove if you ever spend a weekend in Douglas and Onchan

It can be reached on foot at low to middle tide and has a unique cave and a gorge that dissects it, which will take a little courage to go over if you want to continue to the next segment of the island
Tectonic Rift, Niar ax: Although not as impressive as the Icelandic version, this split meets between the ancient North American tectonic plate and the Avalonic Eurasian plate in the cliff just above the beach north of the reed cottages. You can put a foot on each continent here
Small sound hooks: Here are two inlets: one with a step down to an old leather, which offers good jumping and swimming potential at high water. The other lies south in a seam of pure white quartz, leading to a small, secluded in Ham where stamps can be seen
