Brighton's pier, shops, cafes. The whole
walk has nice sea views.
Lunch: The Peacehaven, 4 miles into the walk, is a
carvery and pizza restaurant.

Smuggler's
Rest a short distance away may be better than the above two.
Once you get to
Saltdean, 5.6 miles into the walk, you can switch, if you wish, to the seafront
promenade, which runs under the bottom of the cliffs past Rottingdean
(6.3 miles) to Brighton Marina. Both Saltdean and Rottingdean have seafront
cafes, It’s more interesting walking
through the Marina, rather than outside it.
More eating options here and buses back to Brighton.
