Southport's beach has over a mile of sand, some of which is drivable!

Southport's landlocked inland sea is the largest of its type in the UK.  Offers a lot of entertainment; sailing, speed boating, and other activities.

This is the 2nd longest iron supported pier in England.  There's a tram to take you out to the end if you've had enough walking. 

This is a Sunday morning view down to iron pier.  I had to get here early to get this picture without people in it. 

This is the indoor shopping arcade built over a century ago.  It permitted shopping in all weather.  The main street store fronts have awning like structure made in this fashion, to allow window shopping without getting wet.
