With the Volk’s Electric Railway<\/strong>
The tourist attraction runs between Brighton Pier and Kemp Town right on the beach. The little railway is the oldest electric railway in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking<\/summary>
\n

Overnight guests should ask their accommodation about parking facilities. Often there are hotel-owned parking spaces or street parking vouchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day-trippers must remember that parking spaces in the city centre and at tourist attractions are very limited. There is free parking at the Withdean Sports Complex, from where you can take the bus to the city centre.

Safety on the beach<\/summary>
\n

Please pay attention to the hoisted flags and the tides when swimming on the beach. Red flags mean it is unsafe to swim in the sea. Even on a calm day, ocean currents, undercurrents or a sudden change in weather can create life-threatening dangers without warning. Only swim in areas that are supervised by lifeguards. These are clearly marked with red and yellow flags.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
