London by the Sea



Brighton Beach has been one of my favorite places that I've gone to since being in London. It offers so many things that I love in a place and basically makes it impossible for you to not love it. Settled on the southern coast of England, Brighton sits as a beachside city full of history, lively people and fish n' chips.

You can do just about anything in this little beach town that dates back to the 15th Century. Standing just before you reach the seaside is the Royal Pavilion that can be toured and awed for it's magnificent middle eastern architecture and luscious interior design. You can then make your way down the Lanes for some easy going retail therapy and pick one of the plenty restaurants to stop at for a seafood lunch. After that, head down to the seaside and take a ride on the ferris wheel. It goes pretty quick and the view is beautiful. It's not that high so don't fret if you're scared of heights!

Once you've taken in the view of Brighton from above, get down into it and head to the pier! The Brighton pier has been standing for centuries, although it did burn down at one point in history and has since been rebuilt. Take a stroll down the boardwalk and stop for some rock candy or ice cream. If your thriller side has kicked in, maybe you're ready for a spin on the roller coaster. End the day with small carnival games and badda-bing badda-boom you've successfully done Brighton Beach!

One last thing, I know the rock beach is really strange and definitely not ideal, but it is really beautiful so tread lightly and take a seat in a striped beach chair--you won't regret it!



Until later mates,

Jor
