Brighton Marina

Less than an hour’s walk or a ten minute bus journey from Brighton Palace Pier, Brighton Marina is a self-contained food, shopping and entertainment haven set against a backdrop of yachts bobbing up and down on the big, blue sea.

If you’re travelling with kids, then Brighton Marina’s ideal for finding all the things you know they’ll like in one place, from favourite high street restaurants to big screen entertainment, trampolines, indoor bowling and glow-in-the-dark indoor golf. Children’s needs aside, there’s plenty here for grown-ups too, with a selection of shops selling everything from chocolates to gifts to fashion and home furnishing, as well as some relaxing bars where you can sip a cocktail while watching the boats drift in and out of the Marina. The Sunday car boot sale in the multi-storey car park has been a long-standing local fixture, and here you can find everything from vintage clothes to second-hand furniture to garden tools.

For watersports enthusiasts, the Marina is one of the best places to book sailing lessons, hire a jet ski or go on an adrenaline-charged powerboat ride. If you prefer a more land-based kind of thrill, then you could take your chances at the casino. Or if you’d rather keep your adrenaline levels firmly in check and find a more relaxing way to unwind, why not treat yourself to a some hair pampering or spa treatments at one of the Marina’s hair or beauty salons?

If you’re looking to stay at Brighton Marina, the boutique Malmaison Hotel offers a plentiful selection of rooms, many with sea views – and there’s a fabulous alfresco dining terrace at Malmaison’s Chez Mal Brasserie. Alternatively, there’s an abundance of places to stay nearby in town. And if you fancy an interesting way of getting to and from the Marina, then Volk’s Electric Railway will add an element of fun to the short hop in the summer months.
