This live camera looks out over the seafront at Brighton, the lively resort city on the English Channel coast. It is a useful way to check how the beach and promenade look before you travel, or to follow the sea and sky from anywhere. The page adds local time and weather so you can judge conditions at a glance.
Brighton sits on the chalk cliffs and shingle beaches of East Sussex, about an hour by train south of London. It is best known for its Regency seafront, the long pebble beach, the Palace Pier and a busy arts and music scene. The city has a relaxed, independent character, and the sea is never far from the streets. Views here are shaped by the open Channel, so the water often changes quickly with the wind.
Depending on the view, you may see promenade walkers, cyclists, swimmers on warmer days and the movement of waves over the shingle. Mornings are often calm and quiet, while afternoons and weekends bring more people along the front. Clear, bright days show the horizon most sharply, and stormy weather can make the sea look dramatic. Since the picture is live, conditions will differ from one hour to the next.
Brighton has a temperate maritime climate, mild in summer and cool and wet in winter, so late spring and early autumn are pleasant for walking the front. The city is easy to reach by rail and has plenty of places to eat and stay. Nearby coastal cameras include Shoreham-by-Sea, a few kilometres west, and the beaches of Worthing further along the shore.
