View of Southport Beach at Sunset

Highlight • Beach

Southport beach really does boast some of the most amazing views of the coast.

With long sandy beaches and a coast-line that stretches 22 miles across Sefton, you can soak up the panoramic view of golden sands and admire the beauty of the coast!

Southport beach has one of the most unique natural environments in the country.

The resort’s beach is home to many thousands of wading birds returning from their northern breeding grounds at the end of the summer

It’s the gateway to the coast and the Ribble Estuary and a place where the coast & countryside connect in one of the most amazing ways.

If you enjoy cycling you will fall in love with the paths and trails along this stretch of beach.
