I visited BRIGHTON BEACH for the first time...and I'm OBSESSED. // Exploring England

So I finally made the trip to Brighton Beach here in England and I LOVED IT! I had such a fun day and I'm already planning my next trip back so that I can check out even more things in Brighton!

Such a great video Paige! It's always fun to visit Brighton in the summer (I do it every year!) Brighton is known as "London by the Sea" because of its cool laid back vibes. I'm so pleased that you had a great time - and the sun came out too! xx

[@RoughRider757]

I'm sitting back eating my oatmeal ( meant to say porridge) and totally taking in Paige's latest masterpiece. Btw, has anyone else noticed how good the editing is in all Paige's videos including the music. Very Spike Lee ish. Just saying! These videos are so much fun makes me want to visit each and every place. Brighton definitely reminds me of Coney Island, and being a teen going over to Brooklyn in the summer time. Very interesting. And Paige's friend Mrs Monroe from Miami probably know a thing or two about good beach towns. Brighton looks chill and laidback. A must see.

[@PaigeMariah]

This comment makes me happy! Thank you 😊😊

Brighton is not only a great seaside town, it's also very liberal. I think it's one of the few places in the UK governed by the Green Party.

I’m totally living vicariously through you! Did you visit any of the Great Houses? I would love to see the Downton Abbey estate.

Really loved this series of videos where you travelled around England!! Hope you get to explore lots more. I'm interested in train ticket prices, I've heard they can be quite expensive?

[@PaigeMariah]

Thanks so much! They actually can be but I finally purchased a Railcard at the beginning of the summer…it’s £30 but you get like 33% off of all the train rides for a year

Brighton seems to really suit you. I think it has your vibe. Lovely place and very well connected transport wise to London, sussex to Gatwick Airport, Bristol, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. In fact it is known London of the South Coast. It feels like a giant Shorditch to me.

[@PaigeMariah]

Thanks for this!

[@andybaker2456]

I'm lucky to live only a 45 minute drive from Brighton, so I visit every few weeks. In fact, I was there just last Saturday...love it there! It's so different now from when we used to go there when I was a kid! BTW, there is a sandy beach there, you just have to wait for the tide to go all the way out. 😊 Doesn't look as though you went to the North Laine area (or if you did, you didn't film it!)...in my opinion that's the BEST area of town, filled with great shops, antique and retro places, local crafts, bars, pubs, cafés and restaurants. If you ever go back, you have to go there, it's very close to the station.

[@Summerbunny15]

That was a beautiful day out Paige...I went to uni and lived in Brighton for 5 years...I used to have a job that was a 5 minutes walk from the beach, so in the summer I would go and sit on the beach during lunchtimes 😊 - Brighton (and Hove have a lot of Regency architecture...you should check them out next time...

Thanks so much!!

Fun to go to places like Brighton or Margate, or Blackpool etc, in the North! A really nice place to visit is St Ives in Cornwall or Newquay, also so many quaint little villages in Cornwall like Mousehole. It’s definitely an Airbnb type of place, so lovely! Devon and Bournemouth is also pretty, in fact there are so many lovely beach towns to visit. If you ever go to South Wales, The Gower coast is beautiful and Tenby is worth a visit. X

Love the videos. We were in Brighton last month (second time visiting) but you’re right, a day is never enough. Next time I recommend you visit the Sea Life Centre aquarium. It is the oldest in the world & even if you’re not a fan of aquariums it is beautiful inside.

[@PaigeMariah]

Thanks so much for the recommendation!

[@marilynseptember21]

During the heatwave I nearly went to the beach...I was too worried to even leave the house to enter the sun....thought I would burst into flames! So glad for the rain inbetween this heat....I managed to get two fans, now I'm alright. Might still do Clacton-on-sea or somewhere....never been to Brighton but there's an easy two train trip from mine....Maybe August bank holiday......but want to go to a music event instead....haven't booked anything yet.

I'm so glad that you had a good day in my hometown. I've lived here all my life (fifth generation!) and, when I travelled the world as a young man, never found another place quite like it. The nearest would be San Francisco but much smaller and less dangerous. You'll definitely come back, almost everyone does and I guarantee that, as long as you have money in your pocket, you will never be hungry, thirsty or bored. BTW, nice to know that you're staying at least a couple more years...................................the ancient Englishman.

[@msbrandymo]

That whole place looks like a vibe/mood! The nerd in me wonders if pebbled beach is natural or man made? Actually seems good for coastal erosion. (I grew up in NOLA. Hurricanes. The storms & drink.). When I do London, may have to think on Brighton if not too far.

[@antonycoan9424]

Not far at all

[@camtra18]

It is the potatoes in the UK that do it or me every time, their potato is sooo yummy 😋

[@franiefroufrou]

I was just coming here to say try Boho Gelato next time you visit but you beat me to it. If you come back for a weekend and stay near the beach bring ear plugs. Between the seagulls screaming all night, the stag/hen parties and the refuse collection in the early hours of the morning you won't get much sleep. I don't say that to put you off. I used to live near Brighton and it's one of my fave places in the UK but it's a party town and people come to play!

[@PaigeMariah]

Thanks for the tips! 😆

Well this video is bringing back memories of my childhood, haven’t been to Brighton beach for years. But I am not a fan of pebbles so prefer Margate or a little further south where there are some beautiful beaches in Somerset Devon and Cornwall or Bournemouth Dorset. But they are more vacation journeys where you would have to stay for a few days. Maybe places for you to explore as we can’t go abroad is much even beaches in Kent are beautiful.

[@PaigeMariah]

Brighton is so easy to get to from London on the train. You should try some other places with piers a similar distance away, Margate for example where they do have a sandy beach :)

[@corleth2868]

@@rachelsl4492 That's Broadstairs isn't it? I get my beeches in Thanet confused :) So I think it's got a small sort of pier. With the fast trains you can get now it's made them as quick to get to as Brighton. Brighton is a great place though, it just comes down to whether sand is a deal breaker or not.

[@rachelsl4492]

@@corleth2868 never been to Broadstairs. My primary school London always took us for a day trip in the Summer to either Tanketon (stoney beach) or Joss Bay, the latter I preffered. This was back in the 80s.

But does Margate have the Brighton beach vibe? Fun with tons of outdoor activities?

[@corleth2868]

@@rachelsl4492 I had to goole map it :) It looks like it's about 2 miles north of Broadstairs and 4 miles east of Margate. So I guess if you were to go there by train then either option would work then bus or taxi to Joss Bay? If you were going with the school then I guess it was a coach? There are lots of nice beaches and bays along that stretch of coast and some nice little and not so little towns.
