Nice things to do around Formby?

Could visit the next beach up.....Freshfields...more sandhills...oh yeah, they also have a squirral ridden forrest too. Last time we visited that area there was warning signs on the way in regarding swarms of ladybirds!! (I kid you not)...& yes they were piled high in the incoming waves etc..(& I was bit to **** in the water by sand fleas!....anyway....To the north you have Southport with it's funfair & yet another crazy golf area, to the south you have Liverpool complete with tourist attractions & scousers with permy hair etc. Apart from that, do a google search for formby/attractions etc...Enjoy your day ;)
 
Well if you aint into golf theres always the bar and the bed :)

It's just a normal seasidey town. Lots of shops: walking down Lord Street passes a couple of hours, there's a pier, cinema and all the usual stuff you'd expect. The beach is rubbish, though.

I like the fact you can park your car on the beach as a car park :) What I didn't like when I was a kid tho was spotting those signs near the pier & the writing was on the opposite side facing you...you'd get up to em to read what was on the other side & it said something along the lines of "danger quicksand". Southport....poor mans blackpool. But a place is what you make of it & fun is to be had there along with Formby etc...just relax & enjoy the scenery etc :)
 
Got to love southport! No, really theres not much around now unless you like looking at shops and drinking coffee :) The beach is awful! There is nothing at all to do in formby im neither afraid!

Pretty much sums things up. I do enjoy going home to Formby on leave, but glad I no longer live there. Some nice bars though. Gallery Restaurant Bar & Grill is a nice place to have some food and good drinks. Not just saying that as I used to run the bar as well lol.
