Southport is a coastal town located in Merseyside, positioned north of Liverpool and south of the Fylde Coast. Known for its wide boulevards, Victorian architecture and more refined seaside character, it offers a different experience to traditional resort towns.

The town is centred around Lord Street, a distinctive shopping boulevard, and its long seafront, with attractions including the pier, Marine Lake and extensive coastal promenade. While tourism remains part of its identity, Southport is also a well-established residential location, particularly popular with families, professionals and retirees. 

Compared to nearby coastal locations such as Blackpool, Southport has a quieter and more structured feel, with a stronger emphasis on residential living and long-term community.
