Brighton Seafront, Brighton
No trip to Brighton is a trip without visits to the seafront. Exploring along the beachfront promenade one finds bars and restaurants offering everything from ice cream to seafood. Under the arches of West Pier and i360, independent businesses offer fashion, furniture, and photography, and art galleries.
Then of course there's the big seafront attraction, the Palace Pier. The Pier is a Victorian structure, 1,722 feet long, sitting in the middle of the eight mile Brighton-Hove coastline. The pier has an amusement park, restaurants, shelter-skelter and arcade games.
Next door is Sea Life Brighton, the oldest operating aquarium in the world. Sea Life was built in 1872. It has over 5,000 live exhibits, including rays, sharks, turtles, terrapins, seahorses and an anaconda. Undersea life is shown in day and night scenes. Take a ride in a glass bottom boat.
Volk's Electric Railway is the oldest operating electric railway, built in 1883. Its small open-air cars run for more than a mile along the beach top from the Aquarium to the Marina. It runs every 15 minutes. Reservations not needed.
West of the Pier, the Fishing Museum shows the City's origins. Move on to British Airways i360. Float up 500 feet in the air and see it all. On the boundary with Hove is the Peace Statue. After dark, the beachfront glitters with bars and clubs under the Victorian Arches.
