Brighton Beach — Attraction in Great Britain

Shingle beach . The seafront has improved and is still being improved thanks to the investment from the i360 tower and the agreement with the council that for planning permission to have been granted a percentage of the takings from the tower had to go towards the renovation and upkeep of the shops and infrastructure of the seafront. Where that influence has happened around the tower, the whole beach and seafront areas have benefited - as far as I saw as a tourist. I didn't ask the shop and business owners how the rents and rates are now that they are in trendy and pristine accommodation.. I was there for fun not for a town planning or an economic study. The end of the beach towards the pier that is still standing (there are 2 piers - or rather 1 pier that is still standing and 1 pier that is a rusty skeleton in the sea - opposite the i360 tower) but is a more traditional British seaside resort at that end of the beach - captured so brilliantly by the original photographer, Martin Parr and is copied now by so many others.

There is plenty to do - there are zip wires, Crazy golf, funfair roundabouts with brightly coloured painted horses, i360 viewing tower that is a massive glass and silver donut that ascends and descends a tower for the views of the town and off shore wind farm. Hosts of seafood restaurants and small huts selling traditional British seaside delicacies : muscles, whelks, jellied eels, crab which I guess must still be eaten by someone? and not just London EastEnders on a day trip to the seaside. Not me though - Ana phalactic and I are best friends who meet over shellfish - but she always tries to kill me and so our dysfunctional relationship is one I try to avoid.

There is an interesting (if you are old like me) free, small fishing museum on the seafront. Plenty of striped deck chairs to hire - housed in not aestheticly pleasing, rusty, yellow, small shipping containers all along the beach - looking like a giant kids building blocks that got washed up after a storm - so that the giant kid can't figure out where all their yellow blocks went when it rained really hard that stormy night when their castle flooded. Or maybe not.

It was great weather when I went on the once in 100 years sunny good Friday - and so it was very, very busy and full of interesting and exotic and not so exotic people. Which Brighton is rightly known for. Worth a trip...

Today on Brighton Beach, I experienced a personal earthquake in my heart, one that you wait a lifetime for—and it happened twice. She first appeared between 2:30 p.m., stomping through the coarse gravel of Brighton's beach, and passed me while looking for the carousels that attract children and the young at heart (50.819340, -0.140741). She wore a modern, hip-length green jacket, a black camera modern backpack, and high-water trousers over her thighs. Her dark brown hair was braided into a simple bun. Her face was one that could make even Aphrodite jealous—a dream of natural beauty. Of course, she had an SLR camera around her neck, likely searching for her next subject or the perfect lighting conditions.

Even though I only saw her from the side as she passed me, there was something inexplicable that I felt—something I had never experienced before. She was a woman who knew what she wanted, exuding the strength, adventurous spirit, and sensuality of a modern woman. I guessed her age to be between 35 and 45 (though I'm bad at estimating). From a distance, I watched her disappear into the horizon, likely heading towards the Brighton i360. When she was no longer visible, the dream seemed over.

Completely unexpectedly, she reappeared around 3:45 p.m., and our eyes met for a few moments. Surprised and momentarily paralyzed, I felt a profound sense of security. What should I do? As is often the case in life, opportunities slip by, and we regret them. She walked past me towards Brighton Pier and vanished into the crowd as quickly as she had appeared. I stood up and tried to find her, but she was gone. Was she a dream? Or is fate playing with my heart?

I decided to write down what I saw and felt so I wouldn't forget. Maybe she'll read this someday, remember the moment, and find her way from Brighton Beach to my heart. It was a moment of a wonderful encounter that I will cherish and keep in my...

I recently visited Brighton Beach last week and overall had a great experience. One of the standout aspects was the ample parking available, which made it convenient for us to access the beach. We had a fantastic time enjoying the beach, and one of the highlights was the wide variety of options for food and drinks. There were numerous restaurants and cafes offering a diverse range of cuisines, ensuring that everyone could find something to suit their taste.

What made the beach even more exciting was the presence of disco bars operating during the day. It created a lively and enjoyable atmosphere, adding an extra element of fun to our visit. The music, dancing, and overall ambiance made for a memorable experience.

However, it is important to note that there were some downsides to the visit. One of the main issues we encountered was the presence of dog waste throughout the area. It was disappointing to see that some visitors did not clean up after their pets, which affected the cleanliness and overall enjoyment of the beach. Additionally, the cleanliness of the area, in general, seemed to be lacking, with occasional unpleasant smells of urine in certain places. This aspect could be improved upon to enhance the overall experience for visitors.

Despite these drawbacks, I would still recommend Brighton Beach for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse food and drink options, and the overall enjoyment it offers. Just be mindful of the cleanliness issues and take necessary precautions...
