Brighton's classic pleasure pier, with a funfair at the far end, big arcades halfway along and fish and chips all the way. Even without the rides, the walk out over the sea is worth doing.

  • Arcades under cover
  • Palm Court restaurant
  • Sea views back to the seafront

Good to know

  • Ride hours are shorter on autumn and winter weekdays
  • Combine with the Royal Pavilion, a short walk inland
