Southport

Merseyside coastal town

Southport is a seaside town in northwestern England, known for its Victorian architecture and long pier.

The name also belongs to towns and cities in Australia, the United States, and elsewhere—typically coastal or waterfront locations.

The name suggests a port on the south side of something, though the original English town sits on England's west coast.
