Brighton Travel Guide

Brighton Local History

Brighton became a new trendsetter in 1783 when the Prince Regent visited the resort with his mistress and thereby began a new customÂ… that of dirty weekends. There is a lot more to Brighton of-course, also courtesy of the naughty prince, and people come here not only for splashing and playing on the beaches, but also spend time gawking at the fantastic pleasure palace he erected in the Royal Pavilion and other magnificent regency period architecture.

Brighton Beaches

Add a Beach Suggestion

Although Brighton's main attraction is the beach, don't expect sun, sand and waving palms, its just not that kind of a sun-worshipers place. The weather is also not as benign as in other countries, with it remaining chilly even into June and July. Nevertheless, visitors crowd the beach and fight over their tiny spot in the sun when it does shine.

Brighton Restaurants and Bars

The cuisine in this area, if one can call it that, is steadfastly British, with fish & chips at the top of the list, and pub grub a close second.
