About

Southport South is the southern part of Southport within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, running along the coast by the Irish Sea and centred on the town's main shopping spine. Lord Street cuts through this area with shops, cafes and The Atkinson arts venue on its route; the street's plane trees and covered arcades frame a mix of Victorian terraces and later housing. Residential streets step back from the seafront into small commercial pockets and community services that serve local households.

The promenade and beach form the seafront edge, with the town pier projecting out into the sea and launching point for walks along the coast. Parks and open spaces sit close to the town centre, including Victoria Park by Lord Street, where seasonal events take place. Local buses link the area to the wider borough and rail services terminate near the town centre, so Southport South functions as both a residential quarter and a hub for coastal leisure and civic facilities.
