YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Southport
Marine Lake and King's Gardens
Start around Marine Lake and the neighbouring King's Gardens for a waterfront walk with places to pause. Boat hire adds another option when operating. Keep the day's route flexible so a family stroll does not depend on taking a boat onto the water.
Collections at The Atkinson
The Atkinson on Lord Street brings local history, ancient Egypt and art into the centre of town. Its museum displays give a rainy afternoon a clear purpose. Look at the exhibition programme when arranging your visit, particularly if a specific collection interests you.
Botanic Gardens in Churchtown
Make a separate trip to the Botanic Gardens in Churchtown for planted gardens and a different neighbourhood. Pair the outing with a look around Churchtown rather than treating it as a small detour off Lord Street. It offers a change of pace from the waterfront.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Lord Street's canopied shopfronts, Wayfarers Shopping Arcade and Wesley Street give Southport several distinct browsing areas. Southport Market offers a choice of food stalls. These make town visits useful for more than souvenirs, especially when your group wants different things to eat.
Planning your holiday in Southport
Leave enough room for browsing between attractions. Southport's gardens and cultural venues reward a slower day, while beach plans depend on the conditions and tides. Confirm the operation of any particular waterfront attraction before making it the main reason for travelling in.
Choosing where to stay
Compare holiday parks by their actual route into Southport, including evening transport if you plan to eat out. A listing in the wider area may be convenient for a driving holiday but less suited to daily walks into the shopping streets or Marine Lake.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.

Check the exact address and journey to the places you plan to visit before enquiring.
