Situated just in front of the crumbling West Pier is Sunrise Cycles a rather sorry for itself bicycle hire shop, however if you can ignore the rust and the mismatched bikes, there is a lot of fun to be had
The owner of Sunrise Cycles is really friendly and all of the bikes are kept in a good state of repair. Be sure to bring some photo identification and expect to leave a £40 deposit, however note that there is no credit or debit card facilities.
For £3.50 an hour (or £8 for half a day) you can enjoy a seafront ride or perhaps even venture to nearby Shoreham – which is a good 6-mile ride. Stop for lunch or merely escape the crowds of the city centre.

Perhaps one of the most iconic sights of the south coast, Brighton’s Palace Pier is expensive and tacky but well worth a wander down.
Get some chips and mushy peas from the restaurant half way down, dodge the swooping seagulls and if you’ve got any money left from the arcades, have a slide down the helter skelter. Fantastic.

Split over 7 floors and offering a range of shops, cafes and exhibition space (including the grand Turbine Hall – which has to be seen), Tate Modern is an essential stop for a slice of culture on a budget, particularly with their free daily tours and free admission.
It can get busy with school groups within the week, so it's best to visit this amazing space over a weekend.
