- The chippy, the number of pubs
- The beautiful beach and surrounding area. It's lovely place to go for a walk, picnic, etc. and is of no little importance as a wildlife habitat.
The nightlife isn't brilliant as you'd expect of a very small town but there's some half decent pubs a bunch of new, good restaurants and reasonble local transport in the area means that Liverpool is well with reach for a proper night out.
- 107.9 Dune fm - The Local Radio Station!
- Formby has a great golf course. It is in good company along this golfing coast which includes Royal Birkdale and a few other top class links tracks. A real treat for the golfing enthusiast - not to be missed.
In addition there is a delightful nature reserve located in the pinewoods which seperate the town and the beech. Popular with the youngsters, the now rare red squirrels run free.
- Good train service out of here!
The beach is now reasonably clean, but don't try swimming! There is a reserve of the endangered Red Sqirrel in the Pine Woods
