Plenty to do and see. Lots of food outlets. Free entry and free deckchairs, although too cold to sit in them when we visited. Victoria's Bar well worth a visit, with many unusual articles suspended from the ceiling, so don't forget to look up! Still lots of 2p machines to play on, so won't break the bank. All in all...

Brighton Pier is right next to the beach which is great! The actual pier itself is full of funfair rides, which makes for a great family activity

The pier has a good feel of times gone by and really you have to take the time to have a wander along just to get the feel for being beside the seaside!

When in Brighton the pier is a must see. Not that You want to stay for hours but it still is a must. Why not take some photos of the beach or have a drink while watching all the other visitors of very diverse background? Old ladies, spanish language students, bunches of guys drinking beer, hen parties etc

We had a good time walking around the Pier, there could be more rides for under 1.2m children though. Staff were friendly and helpful for the most of it. The Helter Skelter looks rather scary but our 6 yr old and 13 yr old went on it again and again. The pubs could do with more family friendly facilities. Mostly... More

It's pretty much what you'd expect of an English seaside attraction that's seen better days. Personally I love the Dolphin Derby and think that enjoying fish and chips with a glass of fizz at the Palm Court while the sun sets over the silhouette of the West Pier is hard to beat.

Having been to Brighton a few times (we're from essex), we had not been on the pier before, so it was our main plan for the day. The weather was a bit nippy but dry with a dreadful gale. We are 2 ladies in the 40's&50's and were treated to a wonderful and hysterical few hours. The fact that it... More

We love the pier, free entry, free deckchairs, not many places you can go that are 'free' nowadays. Beautiful views and people watching! Always get a good cup of coffee and a lovely ice cream and The Victoria is a good bar where we sat outside and watched the sun set, brilliant. This is what the English seaside is all... More
