Southport Pier

Southport Pier is an iron structure extending about 1 kilometer (3,300 feet) across Marine Lake and features Victorian-era construction. From its location, visitors can see views across the waterfront and surrounding coastline.

The structure was built during the Victorian era and has been a defining feature of Southport since its completion in the 1800s. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in recognition of its historical importance.

The pier serves as a social meeting point where locals and visitors walk, fish, and spend leisure time together. It remains central to Southport's character as a coastal town and connects people to seaside traditions.

The pier is currently undergoing major restoration work and is not accessible to visitors. The structure can be viewed and photographed from Southport Beach and the adjacent waterfront areas.

The pier holds the distinction of being the longest overland pier in the United Kingdom, representing a remarkable engineering achievement of its time. Its design and construction methods were innovative for the Victorian era.
