Hoylake Sailing Club
When the sailing club on Hoylake Promenade was founded in 1887 it was possible to launch boats and sail immediately in front of the clubhouse. Now, due to lack of water caused by sand deposition, sailing takes place farther along the promenade or offshore and is only possible inshore immediately off the clubhouse on the very highest spring tides. The abundance of sand is a boon to sand-yachters, here raising the flags in the opening ceremony of the 2007 European Sandyacht Championship.

The Plasterers Arms
The Plasterers Arms in Back Sea View is a traditional local pub in the historic residential quarter of Hoylake village which was once called Hoose, the inhabitants of which were principally boatmen and fishermen. In 1871 census John Youds of the adjacent Grove Road was a plasterer and beer house keeper so it is possible the pub name came from this.

Founded in 1887 on Hoylake Promenade. At that time, it was possible to sail just in front of the clubhouse but this is no longer possible because of sand deposition.

Hoylake Lifeboat Museum (closed)
The old lifeboat station on the North Parade at Hoylake became a museum after the new lifeboat station was opened in November 2008. Sadly, the museum closed in April 2015 due to problems in securing funding.
