South Cape Halt (Manx: Stadd Rheynn Yiass) is an intermediate stopping place on the easterly section of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.

Location

The halt is located on the outskirts of Laxey and it serves the area of the village known as Old Laxey and lies above the beach. It acts as a useful drop-off point for visitors wishing to access the beach rather than the village itself.

Facilities

The station is notable for its substantial corrugated iron shelter with perimeter seating and a sign is displayed outside advising passengers to alight here for the beach, and keep their seats for the village, the Snaefell Mountain Railway and Ramsey.
