Port Erin Commissioners is asking visitors to its glorious beach to tidy up after themselves after incidents of littering, damage and graffiti.
The incidents, reported over the last few days, have also seen broken glass left in the sand.
The authority is just asking that people respect the public areas and leave them as you would like to find them.
It said:”Our staff are dedicated to ensuring a clean and safe environment for all but cannot be everywhere 24/7, so please be socially aware and ensure all litter is safely disposed of or taken home.
“Broken glass in the sand – an environment where everyone is barefoot – is particularly dangerous. Port Erin Bay is a protected Marine Nature Reserve and litter left on the beach can pollute the water and endanger marine wildlife.
“Several areas of the Coastal footpath are unsafe, and therefore closed to the public. Please do not disregard, move or damage the signs, they are there to keep you safe.
“We’re looking forward to a fantastic summer in the village and we hope that everyone has the chance to experience the beach in the sun – without worrying about taking off their shoes. And we suggest that can of spray paint is left at home.”
