Kemp Town Beach (Brighton)
Brighton is one of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts. It offers plenty of traditional resort attractions including the refurbished pier, arcades, fun fairs and a vibrant cafĂ© culture.
Kemp Town Beach stretches to the east of the pier towards Brighton Marina and is often less busy than Brighton Central Beach. For those who don’t fancy taking the 15-minute walk from the pier, the Volk electric railway operates a regular service.
The beach is composed of a mixture of shingle and sand. It is used by swimmers, surfers and sunbathers. The area of beach closer to the marina has been designated a naturist beach. Signs indicate where naturist bathing and sunbathing are permitted.
The area of town behind the beach is home to a number of fine Regency and Victorian buildings.
