Southport is a seaside town on the north-west coast of England, to the north of Liverpool and the south of Preston. It is part of the borough of Sefton in the ceremonial county of Merseyside, and it also lies within the boundaries of the traditional county of Lancashire. Southport has many tourist attractions including the longest overland pier in Great Britain. A recent restoration project worth over £7m has helped bring the pier up to date with improved access, lighting and a pier train. As a seaside resort, its main attraction are the miles of sandy beach and recently restored seafront, a Victorian pier, Pleasureland fairground, six golf courses and the wide boulevard, Lord Street, in the town centre. Its shopping, restaurants and bars are worth a visit.
