Quick facts

Brighton became a fashionable resort after the Prince of Wales first visited in 1783.

The beach is shingle rather than sand, so bring something to sit on.

Volk's Electric Railway, opened in 1883 and described as the oldest operational electric railway in the world, runs along the seafront beside the beach.
