Brighton: Tourism, shopping and much more!
Located in East Sussex on England’s southern coast, Brighton is a beach town about 76 km south of London. With its temperate climate, the city enjoys cool summers and winters, with cloudy and rainy periods scattered throughout the colder seasons.
One of Brighton’s main natural features is its 8.7 km expanse of shingle beach. In addition to providing fresh seaside views to both the local population and visitors, the seafront is also home to a variety of eateries, nightclubs and bars, sports facilities, and even a few amusement arcades.
Speaking of amusement, when it comes to local tourist attractions, Brighton Palace Pier remains one of the top options. This Grade II* listed pleasure pier, which stretches out for 525m, is famous for its fish and chips restaurant, fairground attractions, the city’s largest indoor soft play (‘Palace Play’) and more!
For more family fun, try Sea Life Brighton. This aquarium, which was built in the 19th century, offers a breath-taking collection of tropical fish, turtles, sharks, sea horses, and more. And there’s even a rainforest zone complete with terrapins and colourful (but poisonous) dart frogs.
