Visiting Southport
Southport boasts a beautiful and expansive coastline, 22 miles of natural beauty, making it a great place to escape the busy city. From Liverpool you can explore by train Crosby’s Iron Men, the rolling dunes of Formby, fly a kite at Ainsdale and continue on to Southport.
Building sandcastles on the beach, eating fish and chips on the promenade and having some fun in the arcades once day turns to night - the seaside is a great day out with all of the family.
Escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility of the coast, explore the nature reserves through our walking and cycling routes, and then kick back, watch the sun go down over our expansive coastline.
Southport is brimming with things to do and places to see making it ideal for the perfect getaway and only 40 minutes on the train from Liverpool!
