Brighton Beach

Brighton beach is very long and is around the Brighton Pier, which was reconstructed as amusement park. Brighton is an hour from London by train and is a popular place for Londoners who want to come to spend a day. The richest people go shopping, eat shellfish at the restaurants, while those with a smaller budget take the children to play in the sand and go swimming. Obviously there is an English climate that awaits you and the sea is very cold. But it´s a nice place to run, play sports, tan when the sun is out. When we went there weren´t too many people there, just some large families with all children in the water, but we had some jackets and it was really cold! Along the beach you have dozens of restaurants that serve fish and chips, and the famous Sea Life, a very nice aquarium.

Brighton beach has a nice happy atmosphere in the summer, although it can get a bit too busy during a heatwave. The water is cold so I would not recommend swimming, unless you are made of sterner stuff than this reviewer. The nice thing is that there is plenty of other things to do while at the beach, including children's activities, the pier, bars and restaurants and sports facilities.
