The West Pier was built in 1866 by Eugenius Birch and has been closed and deteriorating since 1975, awaiting renovation. It was Brighton's second pier, joining The Royal Suspension Chain Pier of 1823, and it is one of only two Grade I listed piers in the UK. A concert hall was added in 1916 and a new top-deck entrance in 1932. The pier features prominently in the 1969 Richard Attenborough film, Oh! What a Lovely War. There is a museum display of artifacts from the pier on the lower promenade as part of the Brighton Fishing Museum.

The Brighton Marine Palace and Pier is generally known as the Palace Pier for short, but has been informally renamed Brighton Pier in 2000 by its owners, the Noble Organization, in an attempt to suggest that it is Brighton's only pier. Work began on the Palace Pier in 1891 and it opened in May 1899 after costing a record £137,000 to build. This was Brighton's third pier. A concert hall opened two years later, and by 1911 this had become a theatre. The pier was listed at Grade II listed buildings on August 20, 1971.

Next to the prominent Brighton Pier you will find another pier, which is home to a large circular sculpture of a doughnut, officially called The Big Green Bagel. It is a present from the Mayor of Naples and is known in Brighton as the "Seasick Doughnut".

The Artist Quarter can be found just west of Brighton Pier. Here are situated numerous artists’ studios and artist's arches and galleries, where you will find original artworks, limited edition prints, garden accessories, furniture, lighting, paintings, jewellery, stained glass and many decorative items.

Old Penny Arcade Museum is situated on the Brighton seafront, next to the Daniel Laurence arch. This museum displays an extensive collection of the antique penny slot machines. Most of them are working, so you can play some very old games using the old British pennies, which you can purchase at the main counter.

Next to the Old Penny Arcade Museum on Brighton seafront, you will find old carousel. With its numerous, beautiful animal figures and splendid décor, it attracts a lot of tourists and locals. If you are walking with kids, you certainly shouldn’t miss this place!
