Beauty, beaches, and bustling bars—Brighton has it all
Have you ever wanted to just unplug and retreat to a cozy English seaside village? Then a Brighton vacation rental might be just the thing for you! Set along the shores of the English Channel, this charming and popular seaside town has been drawing crowds in search of fun in the sun since the mid-19th century. You'll find plenty of family-friendly fun on tap by the seashore, where the beaches and famed Brighton Pier bustle with activity. In the evening, area nightclubs and bars are filled with revelers ready to dance and party the night away.
Pleasure piers and palaces—Brighton's sure to make you smile
You'll find fun for the whole family at Brighton Pier, home to carnival games, kiddie rides, and thrill rides. Nearby Sea Life Brighton offers an indoor glass-bottom boat where sharks, turtles, and tropical fish swim below. Feeling daring? Ride the elevator to the top of British Airways i360, a 450-foot-tall rotating observation tower with panoramic views of the region. For a more high-brow experience, take a tour of the Brighton Royal Pavilion, former pleasure palace of King George IV, or visit Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, with its impressive collection of 15th- to 20th-century European artwork.
Sunny skies and cool waters—it's another day at the beach
If you book your Brighton vacation rental for the summer, get ready for mild conditions, complete with sunshine, sea breezes, little rain, and temperatures in the high 60s. The water is at its warmest in August and September, but it's still a brisk 63 degrees. Fall brings cooler temperatures with daytime highs hovering around the 50s, but pack an umbrella if you're coming in October and November, the city's wettest months. Winter is cool, but highs barely dip into the 40s and snow is very rare. Spring offers warmer temperatures, with daytime highs climbing into the 60s.
Brighton's seashore is chalk-full of natural beauty
Set along the shores of a large bay in the English Channel, Brighton might be known as a beachside city, but its famed pebble beaches require deck chairs for an afternoon of lounging. Take a bike ride or a walk beneath the towering white chalk cliffs of Brighton, pausing to play in tide pools or dodge crashing waves during high tide. For even more spectacular views, make the 15-minute drive into the surrounding hills to Devil's Dyke, and marvel as lush green hills dive more than 325 feet into equally lush green valleys.
