Popular seaside town reveals £750k plans to restore pretty Victorian promenade – that’s been closed for 12 years
Date: 2024-11-01ONE of the UK’s most popular seaside destinations has revealed multi-million-pound plans to renovate its waterfront.
Part of the huge project will see Madeira Terrace, in the popular seaside town of Brighton, renovated.

The bays between each groyne would then be filled with thousands of tonnes of shingle.
The beach extension would be between King Alfred Leisure Centre and Second Avenue.
Earlier this year, a £13.7million renovation project introduced a new beach park, gardens and a sports hub in West Hove.
The Kingsway to the Sea project includes Hove Beach Park, with gardens and activity spaces.
And last month, a wheeled sports area with a skateboard plaza, biking track and rollerblading area opened.
What is it like to visit Brighton?
The Sun’s Associate Travel Editor Sophie Swietochowski recently visited Brighton for a day trip.
“As we weaved our way up and down the uneven cobbles of Brighton, each twist and turn through the labyrinth revealed a new row of colourful shops with misshapen signs swinging from old doorways.
“Most of the houses here date from the 16th century, so it is no surprise that some are a bit askew, with slanted walls and roofs weathered by years of salty sea winds.
“We stayed at The Southern Belle, a characterful boutique hotel further west along the seafront.
“The brilliant thing about Brighton is that, while it may be a seaside town, it doesn’t matter if the weather takes a turn as there’s so much else to keep you busy.”
“The Rockwater Hove is the place to go for unbeatable views of the ocean and delicious fresh seafood; closer to the centre is The Salt Room, another seafront restaurant.”
And if you fancy staying at the seaside resort, The Sun’s Donna Smiley checked into Lansdowne House in Hove – here’s her verdict.
And here are some other seaside towns to add to your list to visit.
