Brighton's Activities and Attractions

Brighton has been a seaside escape for holidaymakers for nearly two centuries and coming to the town and not taking a walk along the beachfront would be a mistake. It is not just the beautiful beach and ocean that will captivate your attention while walking here; you will also find a great deal of restaurants, bars and amusements. The beauty of Brighton beach is not lost in the winter and watching icy waves crash onto the pebble beach is a sight to behold, in the summer months though you will certainly find a lot more going on.

There are a huge number of pubs in the city which double as live music venues and every weekend these are packed to the rafters with people hoping to hear the next big British band. Many of the most famous bands from the UK have roots in Brighton and were once performing in these small drinking locations. Remember the name of the band you saw as you might soon be buying their record!

Shopping is one of the highlights of Brighton and if you are looking to pick up a unique item from a boutique store then you are probably better off in this town then in the ultra-commercialised centre of London. Down the many narrow alleyways of the town you will find small independent retailers selling all sorts of items. Jewellery is very popular and so are record stores and shop owners will be more than welcoming to those who want to just to peruse their collections. Interspersed throughout the small shops are independent coffeehouses and small pubs all of which provide a great opportunity to refresh.
