Fire fighters from Port Erin have been dealing with an incident not far from Cosy Nook Cafe, at the northern end of the beach.
Crews were sent to a structure described as a 'workers' hut', shortly after 4pm.
There was concern the fire might spread to a nearby house, but the flames were quickly brought under control by officers using jet hoses.
It's understood diesel in the hut was burning, and it's possible a leak from a drum might have somehow caught fire.
Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus have also been at the scene.
