    You can find a variaty of fresh seafood at the beach. Don't pick the first place just compare prices. Food is the same but pricea can vary up to £1.5 per portion. And try Lobster tail anyway :)

    Try swimming in the water although it is refreshing to know the beach has not been overly impacted by raw sewage, effluent or other shipping waste from the english channel and remains clean

    Sunset here is amazing. Don't forget to drop into bars at the seafront! You're gonna definitely have a peaceful and chilled moment there.

    One if the best days out you'll have for very little outlay. Pebble beach but great views, pier, fair, food outlets. Plenty for all.

    Watch out for the seagulls when you have food. They will literally steal it out of your hands.

    Nice little getaway with kids...However!!! Parking in Brighton is astronomical! Truly out of this world. Great way to repel tourists!

    You're on a beach! Don't steal the pebbles, they were imported all the way from Wales. Did you know the Germans are most likely to sunbathe nude on a beach? Expedia did a beach survey on it! Read more

    Forget bars and clubs. Thus is THE best place to spend evenings in Brighton (as well as mornings and afternoons).
