Birkdale is one stop south of Southport serving the suburb of the same name. Birkdale is well known for the Royal Birkdale golf course, but that's best accessed by the station one stop further down the line, Hillside.

The station has two platforms, with a building on each, and a subway and level crossing connecting the two. This is the entrance to the subway on the southbound platform 1 side of the station:
