We spent some time on the beach at Brighton, we didn't even dream of swimming. However, the weather was moderately fine and many people were sitting on the beach enjoying the afternoon sun. The water did not look brilliant. but if the weather is warm next time we go to Brighton we will take our bathers and go for a dip. Then we can say we had a swim at Brighton Beach. Brighton Beach looked surprisingly broad, it must be popular when the sun is shining

Just WOW. You could walk around Brighton all day for a week and still find new things to do! All along the beach front there are shops and places to eat, the culture is wonderful, warm and friendly. There is every type of person here, no bias. It's exactly how everywhere should be. Every evening, loads of people gather on the beach together and watch the sunset. No rubbish is left. Beautiful.

After a night at the Hilton we decided to have an early morning walk from our hotel along the prom from The Hilton down to Hove. It was a windy morning but the walk was refreshing and there is lots to see along the route as well as runners, dog walkers and fellow walkers wishing you a good morning. A great start to a Sunday morning.

If you don’t like crowds, then avoid when it’s sunny. The walk from the train station is around 20mins, plenty of shops along the walking route to pick up snacks and lunch if you prefer to eat on the beach. There are also a lot of food outlets to sit down for lunch or dinner. The beach itself is just okay. It is pebbled/stoned so wear comfortable footwear. There are also some slopes on the beach so take your time walking down. Prices for the pier funfair are quite expensive. A days entry is £30, or you can pay per ride which is about £4. I would also say bring coins with you if you wish to visit the arcade, as the cash machines charge for withdrawal. Overall nice day out, but the beach is not the main attraction.

Huge shingle beach that is clean & well patrolled by staff on quad bikes + Lifeguards in the season. During our visit to Brighton it was too cold for laying on the beach or swimming but I’m sure given the weather it would be really nice. The beach did look to shelve steeply in parts so maybe not suitable for children.

A clean beach with excellent views. Lots of space to sunbathe and swim in the sea. There are lots of attractions along the seafront and plenty of places to eat. Just a shame about the pebbles! Overall, it’s a classic place to go :)

It’s a marvelous place to spend the day. 1.15 hours from London by train. Pintoresque, colorful, lovely colour of water. Beaches are not sand but big pebbles which makes it very special though not the greatest to lie on. Have been twice and would definitely repeat

Brighton is feeling old and and tired. A lot of buildings are very grubby. Parking is very expensive and varies from one street to another in terms of timed restrictions. On one street I have to move the car at certain times of day which interrupts the whole day. Every town in Sussex seems to use a different parking app. I parked at ‘Brighton airport’ downloaded another app and paid. I still ended with a fine. I grew up here but won’t be back

Brighton is a wonderful place to visit with the beach and the shops. The seaside restaurants are very good and there are scores of shops catering for everyone. I highly recommend a day trip to Brighton form London or even a longer stay in Brighton

Beach front and pier as expected this time of yesr but off the beach we encountered quite a few beggars. It was upsetting to see so many homeless but a bit intimidating having numerous approach us for money. More so as it grew dark. Not really a place for a lone traveller.
