Basking in the Brighton sun!

It is one of the most visited beach cities in Britain since the Britons crave for sun all the time and Brighton is considered the sunniest beach in Britain.

The beach has no trace of sand at all. It has pebbles all around which shine like burnt copper in the basking warm sun.  Though the weather in Brighton is unpredictable like the rest of England, during summer months it’s really a wonderful escape. It is a vibrant, colourful, creative and relaxed city which makes it stand out from rest of England. There are relaxed and happy faces everywhere; there is no rush for anything yet everyone is doing their job. When there is need to take a break, walk down to the beach. There are numerous restaurants, pubs and nightclubs along the beach.

Apart from the beach, Devil’s dyke i.e. a V shaped valley near Brighton and has an amazing view is very popular among tourists. Brighton Pier, a dome shaped structure facing the sea is another wonderful place to take a walk and clear the head.

What you may dislike

Over all Brighton is an interesting place for a short trip or to hang out. One little thing that I dislike about Brighton is the stony pebble beach. The pebbles hit really bad in the water as they move with the waves and God help you if the waves are too strong. Even walking along the beach on the pebbles feels uncomfortable. Though many people prefer pebbles to sand as it doesn’t settle on the scalp and cloths.

Getting here:

By rail, Brighton is just an hour away from London and it is well connected by road also. One can take a direct rail link form the Eurostar at St. Pancreas in London or a National express train from London Bridge or Victoria. Coach Service is available from Victoria coach station, Gatwick airport and Heathrow airport. The next summer holiday to Brighton may well 'brighten' your year.
