Southport travel guide

Where to Stay

Most hotels sit in the town centre, on or just off tree-lined Lord Street, so shops, restaurants and the seafront are all within walking distance. Hotels make up most of the list, with a handful of family-run guest houses for a more personal stay. If you want sea air from the doorstep, look at places near the Promenade.

Things to Do

  • Walk Southport Pier, one of the longest piers in Britain.
  • Browse Lord Street, with its Victorian buildings and glass-canopied shopfronts.
  • Play or watch golf on the famous coastal links, Royal Birkdale among them.
  • Head south to the dunes and pine woods at Formby for a nature walk.

Getting There

Local trains run to central Liverpool in about an hour. The nearest airport is Liverpool John Lennon, with Manchester offering a wider choice of flights; for a private transfer see Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) transfers. Blackpool to the north makes an easy day out.

When to Go

May to September is the most pleasant time for beach and pier walks, and summer brings events such as flower and fireworks shows. Winter is quieter and better value. The coast is often breezy, so pack a jacket whatever the season.
