Ghostly remains of a once grand Victorian pier, destroyed by fire in 2003 and now home to seabirds and marine life. An ideal place to take some dramatic photos, best seen at sunset.

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.

Good photos can be had here with a good spot to see on the beach and from beyond, nice spot down spot to be found here as on sunny days lots of views and beach sit down locations can be had, many times can be had here in the good weather as well when on the beach.

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 💖

I came here in the summer, the weather was nice and the beach was clean

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.

Went on a week day where there wasn’t much people. A very beautiful beach. There is only remaining parts of this West Pier that was built in 1860s. History states that this was closed to the public in 1975. A fire in 2003 damaged the remaining building and only. Partial metal framework exists. Definitely worth visiting to view a memorable sun set.

One of the best beaches… not too busy not too calm just the right way. Do have the iconic pier with games and food.
