Offering fabulous beaches and surrounded by no less than seven championship golf courses (including Royal Birkdale), Southport has charming parks, gardens and tree lined boulevards; great shopping, promenades, al fresco café snacking, great pubs and fine dining.

Families love Southport’s seaside fun with miles of golden sands, fairground rides, Britain’s oldest pier and largest man-made leisure lake where you’ll find plenty of watersports and activities.  Southport is also well known for its huge array of annual festivals including the famous Southport Air Show in September, Flower Show, Jazz Festival and Musical Fireworks Championships!  If you love nature and wildlife you won’t be far from some unique habitats including Formby Point with its pine forests, dunes and rare red squirrels.
