Brighton · United Kingdom
The short version, from the cited sources
Brighton's pebble beach is the archetype of the English seaside: deck chairs on shingle, the Victorian pleasure pier of 1899, fish and chips against the wind and a promenade that has absorbed two centuries of London day-trippers since sea-bathing became fashionable under the Prince Regent. The burned skeleton of the West Pier and the slender i360 tower bracket the modern front. Swimming happens, but the beach's real function is civic theatre.
