brighton is located south of london (45 mins by speed train) the beach is very clean. i went there three times per week for the 4 weeks i have been here. the beach was cold dhring october so we couldny go into the water my entire stay. the beach has stones rather than sand, but its stull good. it has some art along the walk ways. you will find many seagulls (bird type) and u cant touch them even if they snatch your food because they are protected by The Queen of England...cool stuff...though ur allowed to feed them and that was sooo much fun. along the beach is this inverted house quite interesting to see.
