The must see sight in Southport apart from the beaches has to be the famous pier.

If you like amusement parks then youll just love Pleasureland. As one of the countrys largest amusement parks youll discover white knuckle rides galore, such as the popular Lucozade Spaceshot and The Tramatizer. There are also less terrifying options to cater for the younger visitors too.
