About

The MWDW Info Centre engages both locals and visitors from a social venue in the heart of Peel. Being in the same building as Cranky’s Coffee Shop, you can grab yourself a brew, or stop for lunch, whilst learning about our incredible Manx marine life.

Discover the whales, dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks and other marine life that can be seen around the Isle of Man. Find out what species can be seen, how to spot them and where to go. Borrow a litter picker to help keep Peel tidy and buy some merchandise.
