Superb fun for the little people, this grand old Edwardian pier is the place to experience Brighton’s full-on and shameless seaside kitsch. There are plenty of stomach-churning fairground rides and noisy amusement arcades to keep you entertained, and candyfloss and Brighton rock are on tap to ruin your teeth. Just west are the desolate remains of the West Pier , a skeletal iron hulk that attracts flocks of starlings at sunset.
