Information

If you are planning a visit to Southport you will find there is something different to do every time.

Take time to explore 22 miles of coast.

Take time to stroll along Britain’s longest iron Pier.

From tree-lined boulevards to attractive woodland, this is your time.

We are here to make your planning as easy as possible, so you can enjoy your time in Southport.

Preparing and planning will ensure that no time is wasted once you are here and each experience is different for you, so we also have an itinerary planner.

Our travel information page will guide you on how to get here, plus we have information on getting around Southport and car parking once you have arrived.

As Southport is located on the coast, knowing the tide times will be essential, especially if you want to see Antony Gormley's 'Another Place' installation.

Southport is also known to have its own micro climate, so whilst it can be gloomy where you are, the weather maybe glorious here, it is always worth checking the weather in Southport before you travel so you can dress and pack accordingly.

If you are planning to come to one of Southport's events, you can book tickets and get more information on our 'What's On' section.

And once you are here?

When in Southport, The Atkinson has a variety of guides and leaflets plus the local knowledge of the staff. They have the experience to help you with any questions or information whilst you are in Southport.  

You will also find a range of leaflets and guides in your hotel or guest house and the local knowledge of the staff will be really useful.

Southport is also close to Liverpool, so if you fancy breaking away from the coast and exploring the big city, you can find all of the travel information here to make sure you can plan your day trips.
