The Classic resort of Southport is the perfect destination for a seaside day trip, mid-week or weekend short break. With beautiful beaches, great attractions, superb shopping, a mouth-watering array of restaurants and lots, lots more, Southport has something for everyone.
There's also one of the best event programmes in the country - which includes the Southport Flower Show, Southport Air Show, Summer Classics - Music in the Park, British Musical Fireworks Championships, The Southport International Jazz Festival and many more.
Southport is also 'England's Golfing Capital' with six championship courses including Royal Birkdale, which hosts The Open in 2008. The town is at the centre of 'England's Golf Coast' and no less than nineteen courses including the '3 Royals' can be reached in under an hour.
Add to this a vibrant and exciting night-life, the Victorian splendour of Lord Street with its unique range of shops, some of the most scenic parks and gardens you're ever likely to visit, and you'll appreciate why Southport appeals to all ages and interests.
