Brighton Beach and Palace Pier
Brighton Beach is a pebble beach stretching along the seafront with the Victorian Palace Pier (free to walk), amusement arcades, and the burnt-out skeleton of the West Pier in the distance. Free.
Palace in Brighton
Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion is an extravagant palace built for King George IV in a style that mixes Indian Mughal, Chinese, and Gothic architecture into something unlike any other building in Britain. Entry is paid. The exterior and the gardens (free) are worth seeing for the absurd ambition of the design alone. Budget travelers walk through the free gardens, photograph the onion domes and minarets, and decide whether the equally extravagant interior justifies the ticket.
