O/T Beaches

Brighton beach

A Teeside beach

 

[Coldeanseagull]

They look the same to me, both have a dilapitated pier......

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Probably more people on ours from Middlesboro than true Brightonians too.

At least there's some sand up here. Try sunbathing on a typical Sussex beach is like a game of human Tetris, having to contort your spine to lie comfortably on the pebbles, and amongst the seaweed, rubbish and other detritus. The crowds make it an unpleasant experience, and the beachside facilities charge extortionate prices to eat, drink or even hire deck chairs.

But at least it's warmer down your way.

Human tetris, that made me giggle

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The crowd difference reflects the 20 degree temperature difference.

Nobody actually in the sea in either.

This is all getting rather boring now.

I would rather visit the Teeside beach TBF, plenty of room to move around and it has sand.
Spent most of my life living in Brighton but always avoided that stretch of the beach at the weekend when it's heaving with day trippers.

Teeside beach everytime,at least I could dig some lug there

the best beach in Sussex is/was the West beach Newhaven

I prefer Seaford to Brighton,free parking and not much to do so keeps away the riff raff....That said 20 years ago? well let's just say i've aged..

And one in Littlehampton, also called West Beach is also decent.

Agree with you here, I lived 30 seconds walk from Seaford beach and I like the peace and quiet there.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

many a great night's fishing on Seaford beach

I've seen 3 cod caught in 20 minutes up at the Martello end (6-10lb)

also a 19 pounder a bit further down

10lb Bass 4lb Plaice

not by me I hasn't to add

Another vote for Teeside Beach against the one offered. Miles of lovely beaches away from the Palace Pier pictured. I'd rather be on them.

thought you are in Newhaven,which despite my odd mocking is actually alright too,many a time me and the missus go to west beach....

Lived in Seaford before moving to NH, but I still spend a fair bit of time in Seaford.

Shame the sandy part of Newhaven's West Beach is now fenced off, but the pebble beach isn't too bad.

I avoid Brighton beach like the plague on a hot day like today. Between the two, the beach in Teesside looks more my bag although I wouldn't want to live there.

 

[studio150]

I prefer this one

I prefer this one

That's way too crowded.

My type of beach...

 

[Notters]

I've never understood the fascination with sandy beaches, whenever I've been to one I've ended up with sand in my eyes, food, car, etc. Give me peals every time.
