🌅 Brighton Day Trip: Coastal Strolls & Golden Sunsets
Brighton was my pitstop before visiting the Seven Sisters Cliffs. Even in late August’s heat, this charming seaside town—with its laid-back vibe and stunning sunset over the pier—made me seriously consider coastal life. 🚶♀️ Loose Itinerary (No Rush, Just Vibes) 🚄 Train in → Seaside + street wandering → The Lanes → Vintage shopping → Brighton Beach → Palace Pier → Hotel (sunrise optional!) → 🚄 🏨 The Lanes Hotel Book near the beach for ocean views (but note: summer rooms get stuffy!). ⛲ The Lanes Brighton’s "most famous spot" (per the hotel staff)—a maze of boutiques, cafés, and quirky shops. 🛍️ Vintage Heaven 🔍 Google "Vintage clothing stores" for hidden gems. Think retro Levi’s, psychedelic prints, and antique jewelry. 🍽️ Food Picks 1️⃣ Donatello (📍BN1 1HJ) Affordable Italian loved by locals. 💷 ~£10pp | Massive portions! 2️⃣ Shelter Hall (📍BN1 1NB) Rooftop seafood with sunset views. 💷 *£15-20pp* | Try the grilled octopus! 🌊 Beach Sunset Magic Pebbled shores (skip the flip-flops!). Palace Pier: Carnival rides + cotton candy nostalgia. Best part? The unspoiled stretches—just sea, sky, and serenity. #WeekendVibes #UKTravel #BrightonDiaries
