Brighton Beach: in the summer, this stretch of beach is filled with locals and huge numbers of visiting tourists. Nudist beaches are popular in the Brighton area, and are located outside of the city, both to the west and the east. The Kemptown nudist beach is quite well known. Much of the beach area is covered with pebbles, turning into a sandy seabed by the mid-tide line. Poi twirlers grace Brighton Beach at dusk, creating a lovely image against the setting sun. It was King George IV seaside palace, and remains a landmark on the Brighton coast. Guided tours through the interior of this unique, richly-decorated palace are offered; and refreshments are on available in the Pavilion’s tea room. The Lane: situated between the Pavilion and the seashore, you’ll find a maze of narrow lanes that are closed to vehicular traffic. This was at one time the heart of the old fishing village, known as Brighthelmstone, around which Brighton developed. Brighton Pier: boasts entertainment options of all sorts ranging from the Palace of Fun to the karaoke and from amusement park rides to shops, restaurants and hotels. The West Pier, considered to be architecturally superior, was built in 1866 along the waterfront. It was badly damaged during WWII, and subsequently fell into further disrepair; however it is now under restoration and should prove to be a spectacular addition to the seafront once again. This Centre is the oldest operating aquarium in the world, and offers an appealing combination of architecture from the Victorian age and unique, innovative displays of marine life. The variety of sea creatures that you’ll see here include giant Japanese spider crabs and sea turtles, seahorses and black-tipped reef sharks. |
