You have the biggest choice of seaside activities in the Big Resort. Take a leisurely stroll along the prom and admire Hove's elegant Regency architecture, watch the jugglers on Hove's sweeping seafront lawns. Or let yourself go in one of Brighton's funfairs or amusement centres. The seafront here is undergoing a transformation with landscaping and the redevelopment of the seafront arches. A brand new Fishing Museum, the new Living Postcards Museum, crazy golf, arts and crafts shops, children's play areas and new cafes and bars are breathing yet more life into this popular stretch of Brighton's varied seafront. Or take it easy on the beach with an ice cream. Go for a swim. Why not go the whole way? Lose your inhibitions and try the nudist beach towards the Marina to the east! Right along Brighton & Hove's seafront there's always something going on with Punch and Judy, mime artists, buskers, poets, like music and paddling pools on the Beach Deck.

The Palace Pier is one of the most popular attractions in Britain. Open all day, every day, right through the year, it's a temptation difficult to resist, with free admission, free deck chairs and, in the summer and on Bank Holidays, special free entertainment. The funfair at the end of the pier includes new rides as well as all the old favourites. And the walk out to sea takes you past kiosks and stalls offering a bewildering range of merchandise.

There are three bars on the Pier (one with karaoke entertainment), a wide choice of take-away food, a picnic site and the Palm Court fish and chip restaurant - a great way to enjoy Britain's traditional seaside fare!
Opposite the pier stands Brighton's Sea Life Centre - one of the largest marine life centres in the country. It has an amazing underwater tunnel offering an uninterrupted view of life beneath the waves as stingrays, British sharks and octopuses glide overhead. The Centre offers daily talks on the natural history of British sea life, and visitors can watch the marine life up close at feeding time.
Brighton Marina is one of the largest marinas of its kind in Europe.

The harbour wall offers spectacular views over the 2,000 berth marina and, towards land, back to the sweeping grandeur of Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent. The Marina village complex contains exclusive sports shops, galleries, boutiques, water side pubs, restaurants and an eight-screen multiplex cinema. The stylish residential area is built around the inner lagoon - good strolling country for a Sunday lunchtime! The marina offers a range of activities quite apart from sailing. Try Fast-Trax speed-karting, fishing or bungee-jumping. There's a busy Sunday market, and parking is plentiful.
