Brighton - Hove Coast Guide Brighton is the trendiest resort in the UK or even on the planet, according to the people who live there. Also known as London-by -the Sea, you soon get the impression of what Brighton and Hove have to offer. This is a seaside resort but of a very different kind - a metropolitan resort of the kind only usually found in France or Spain along the Mediterranean coast.
To find details of Brighton Hotels and Holidays, Brighton Guest Houses and Brighton Cottages and to visit Attractions. Go to Brighton Hove Hotels Guest Houses and Cottages Having said that it still offers all of the attributes of a popular seaside resort - long sandy beach, a pier, a long promenade, lots of cafes and restaurants, plenty of attractions and entertainments. Things really get going after dark though and that is when the metro side of the city comes to the fore - with loads of nightclubs and excellent bars to choose from. Brighton has attractions to be proud of as well. The Royal Pavilion is unique in style and history having once belonged to Queen Victoria. The royal connection goes back along way as well. The Prince Regent used to visit in the 1780's and that set the trend for many aristocratic people to follow and they're still coming. However that is not to say that everyday folk like you and me are not welcome - we are and there's plenty to do at a reasonable price.
The Palace Pier is not royal but you will find a welcome fit for a King. This is one of the best examples of a traditional English pier to be seen in the country. There are some excellent rides and the usual entertainments and refreshments. There was a second pier but that burnt down recently and the future of the remaining structure is very uncertain at present.
Hove and Portslade were two small towns adjacent to Brighton which were incorporated into the unitary Authority of Brighton and Hove in 1997, which now has a population of around 250,000.
