There is a lighthouse near the south of Slateport that illuminates the sea for passing ships.
The Slateport Market is an open-air bazaar featuring items that can't be easily found anywhere else. There's a place to buy Secret Base decorations, vitamins and seaweed there.
Slateport is also home to the headquarters for the Hoenn branch of the Pokémon Fan Club.
Slateport was created because the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a market started to grow.

North of Slateport City is Route 110, which has a bicycle route as well as a path to Mauville City. South of the city is the beach of Route 109. East of the city is the ocean path of Route 134, but the water's current is too strong to Surf east.
The Name Rater, as always, allows trainers to change the nickname of any Pokémon they captured or recieved in-game. Those traded from outside sources will not be able to be renamed.
Slateport City is also the hometown of one of May's rivals, Harley.
