Make a trip to Brighton Marina

When you're planning your break to Brighton & Hove this year, why not move away from the city centre and take a look at Brighton Marina? Far more then just a place to park your boat, the Marina is a great place to eat, drink, shop, stay and play.

Naturally being by the water there are plenty of businesses there to help you enjoy it, whether it's a relaxing pleasure boat ride with Ross Boat Trips; whizzing round on Jet Skis or trying your hand at all manner of watersports. Or for land-based activities you'll soon be able to hire an electric bike, perfect for exploring the Undercliff route.

After all that action you'll need to refuel and there are lots of popular restaurant brand names to choose from as well as new eateries Blue Mango Indian restaurant and Jimmy's Restaurant serving dishes from around the world.

Once you build up some more energy why not explore the shops at the Marina, there are outlet shops for well-known brands as well as the independent fair-trade store Lovethatstuff and the Laughing Dog Gallery which features lots ot pieces by local artists.

After that revive your weary body with a pampering session at Spa Tara or enjoy a night out at the Rendezvous Casino with Waterside Bar & Brasserie.

Once you're ready to hit the hay there are  plenty of accommodaiton options including self-catering with Sea Fizz and Palms Properties or there's the contemporary Hotel Seattle.
