When you live in central London and would like to see some sea breeze Brighton is the best place for a day out and food wise
Definitely worth a visit for some unique photo ops and to soak in the atmosphere of this iconic landmark! Looks lovely during sunsets!🌆
5 stars for the lovely sun set photos the old pier lends it's self too. It's a burnt out shell that is only accessible by air or boat. At dusk, you can see thousands of seagulls roosting all over it, just need to 10x your camera.
Visited April 16, 2019: Something about destruction and memory that conjures up vivid mental images of what was and what could have been, remnants standing (and trying) the tests of nature and time. The pier really does capture the eye and imagination, sticking out like a blot due to its appearance, and yet it doesn't at the same time. If anything, it becomes even more captivating, its beauty rising from the ashes of disrepair and rust. It's like a ghost, an enchanting one, one that, by its proximity, instills wonder, but stops at the threshold of complete understanding and knowledge, and rests there, as if it were meant to be a lesson from anyone who sees.
Was Brighton’s second pier. Now just the skeleton remains, though you can often see cormorants nesting and using it to fish from.
Worth a pretty photo if you’re visiting (it’s opposite the i360) and about 10-15 mins walk from Brighton pier.

This is a place to see the most beautiful sunsets, the remnants of a once busy pier and the peaceful sounds of the tide lapping on the shore. I sat here for hours reading as the tide came in and I can’t have felt more at peace 🥺 I travelled here from London for the day to escape the business and get some sea air and this is the perfect spot for it 💖
Hugely popular location for taking seascape photos of the derelict pier. Slowly this structure is slipping away into the sea. Aim to arrive for sunrise or sunset to enjoy stunning views. This is also a quieter part of the beach to chill in Summer.
