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.

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.

Hoylake Beach
This slipway is immediately opposite the old lifeboat station which has been replaced by a newer one a little further north-east. Out on the sands are two RNLI launch and recovery vehicles which will handle the new Shannon class lifeboat which was due to be delivered the following day. They make a deafening roar even at this distance.
