The pier stretches for almost a mile across the sands.

At the pier end is the Pavillion..

..here people people walking out to the distant sea look like ants on its huge surface...

..there are superb views of the bay and across to Blackpool to the north.

But it is just the Sahara like vastness of its sands that is so awe inspiring.

Below the pier, an open air bar with live entertainment on stage.

Pier entrance, while two seniors admire this trike, Betty and I bought fish n' chips and ate them on a park bench, why do fish and chips taste sooo good, eaten in the open air with your fingers? Bliss

Southport is at the Western start of the long distance Trans Pennine Trail across "The backbone" of England to the East coast - the next slide shows its route.
Jim
..and this notice tells you all about it. That's it - hope you enjoyed the sea air. Jim.
