Brighton Beach

Voted one of the Top 10 city beach break destinations globally, Brighton & its beachfront are legendary.

A highly active beach, here you can try all the watersports, go for a swim, paddle or simply pull up a deck chair and relax! It’s not just about the water though, as the beachfront promenade is a destination in itself. The iconic Brighton Palace Pier with its helter-skelter and arcade games is British seaside charm in all its glory. And around here, you’ll find the Artists’ Quarter, with plenty of bars and restaurants serving everything from ice cream to high-end seafood and independent traders selling fashion, furniture, and photography.

For the kids, there’s Sea Life Brighton, home to giant turtles, sharks, and seahorses and to the east of the Pier, there’s the historic Volks Railway – Britain’s oldest electric railway built in 1883. And suppose that isn’t enough for you, there’s always the free Fishing Museum, tracing the city’s origins as a sleepy fishing village. A bit further along, you’ll find British Airways i360 – the world’s tallest moving observation tower where you glide 450 feet into the air to see unparalleled views.
