You’d see the sunrise emerging,  breathe in that fresh coastal air and get the best picturesque views of the sea. Once you are in Kings Road promenade and if you would like to see Brighton landmarks, the South Downs, wind farms at sea and the beautiful Sussex coastlines, board into BA i360 large glass viewing pod. The views are phenomenal as you can see for miles. The BA flights take around 25 minutes and depart every 30 minutes. 
 
Continue walking along the seaside and explore Brighton Pier which offers lots of rides attractions such as turbo coaster, trampolines, carousel, air race, wild driver and Galaxia. The Pier is open from 11 am till 4 pm during the week and from 10 am till 7 pm during the weekend.
 
A couple of minutes from Brighton Pier is Volk’s Electric Railway – a train that can take you to the White Cliffs east of Brighton Marina. Marina entertains all ages such as bowling alley, an eight-screen cinema, shopping of the most famous high-street brands.

Once you’ve explored the Marina, and you still have some time you can play crazy golf at Jungle Rumble Adventure golf or if you love trill try zip wire ride which is the longest zip wire on the South coast. 
 
If you would like to have lunch by the seaside and love the organic burgers or fish and chips, you would enjoy Lucky Beach.
