Car park at the end closed, one big building site. The other spaces at this end are for buses/coaches. Spaces further back are doable though (the other pin) and they’re great! We arrived 5pm Friday and left 9am Sunday in Jan and only spent around £11 on parking!

End carpark is closed. £17 a day to park in the bus spaces but you’ll still get a ticket unless you drive a coach. Spoke to the traffic warden who confirmed this. Lots of people getting tickets unfortunately moved on.

Please consider there's a sign up saying no parking from midnight Fri 3 September 2021. any vehicles left will be towed away. It looks like there's some kind of motor sport event on Madeira Drive that weekend.it doesn't say when it will reopen. Also the brighton marathon the following weekend

There's parking along the whole promenade bit there's a very friendly vanlife community at the end by the toilets in a carpark. The council has taken the pay boxes out so everyone has been parking here for free. Apparently this won't last much longer so make sure you ask around before leaving your vehicle.

Stayed here for 1 night opposite the toilets. had 3 others park along side us had a quiet night. about 10-15 minute walk into town or along the prom. Will definitely use again if visiting Brighton!

Van doors backed onto the prom. Such a great spot. Friendly van life community here. Stayed Saturday night when all the "boy racer" cars come down to show off, have burnouts. Noisy but good fun and crowd. All gone by about 11pm. Slept well and woke up to lovely view.

Amazing view. Tight parking spaces. One way road. No traffic noise.

Stayed here a few times. Can be a bit noisy during the day but other than that it’s great. The car park is better than the road as you’ll likely get a parking ticket. Spaces are very tight!

Beware that parking is for buses only and you will get a ticket during the day. There is parking on the one way section of road if you can squeeze in, pay and display.

Great place to park up. relatively busy with cars in the day but quiet at night with 4 or 5 vans. 20ish min walk to the pier or you can take the Volks railway as you are right next to it. also toilets are there and are open from 8am. paid 9.60 for 12 hours but no charge overnight. Great views.

Great place to stay for a night but BEWARE! Parking along the main strip is for buses only. I paid for parking today but still received a ticket. Spoke to the warden who informed me that only buses are permitted to park here at any time. If you arrive after 6pm and leave before 10am you’re fine, otherwise you should use the car park or alternative spots for daytime parking

A fantastic spot especially if you park towards the very end - Madeira Drive is a one way road now so go to the end as it is very quiet and peaceful I stayed Thursday night and slept really well even in the high winds

Stayed here for one night last night - paid £7.50 as parked for the day so we could walk into town and enjoy the beach but it is free after 8pm. Lots of other vans around so felt safe. Would definitely visit again

A great spot. level parking, great views, right on the beach and not far from town. had an un-disturbed sleep amongst many other vans. Some loud cars, party-goers and music until the early hours, but its Brighton city!

Great place to stop overnight. Very quiet. Expect it will be busier during summer months, but still worth trying to park up here. Short walk to Brighton Marina for bars, restaurants and supermarket.

I stayed here one day and one night. Would have stayed longer but had an incident with a homeless person taking photos of me and my van so didn’t feel safe anymore.

First time staying here. It’s a good spot to park for the day/ night. It’s close to everything you need including Brighton centre, only a 10 minute walk. From 6pm to 9am it’s free but to park all day is £7.60 which I thought wasn’t bad. There is public toilets that do close when the sun goes down. Easy access to the beach. I’ve had no trouble parking here all weekend and lots of other vans so I felt safe to leave my van. It does get busy in the day and quite noisy but once they have left the only people here are people in vans. I recommend staying here. :)

Stopped here plenty of times, nice view and convenient for the town centre. some noise from clubbers and boy racers but once we draw our curtains it's easy enough to ignore. worth the noise for the location

See front views we parked up in the carpark at the end height barrier was opened so got up close the the sea wall during storm Dennis love a big wave and being rocked to sleep ;) no issues with other cars of noise probably due to the storm . free 24hr toilets parking tariffs and prices our on the paybyphone app furvest from the pier the cheaper ot gets we paid £7.20 to park here all day

Avantage : proche du centre de Brighton inconvénient : bruit de course de voiture la nuit et quelque discussion bruyante de piéton

Very loud due to night club. Also quite expensive 3,50 hour 17 for the day. But free from 20.00 pm to 9. 00 am. Still, very close to city and pier. Will stay there again

Stayed overnight behind the naturist beach. No restriction 6pm-10am in the bus parking area. Apparently a well known dogging site...but didn’t see any evidence of this. Moved towards the pier for daytime parking £7.20 for the day. Would use this overnight stop again

Closer to the Pier there is a lot of parking spaces and we where able to squeeze our van in, in the middle of the day, it gets much easier in the evening. Pay 7,2€ for 11 hours, which is basically a day because of the free night hours. A little bit of noise at night, but it is close to the city and the pier. Great place to stay for a day in Brighton.

Burning rubber and engine rev limiters for half of the night!!! If you want a quiet night dont stay here!!

Great spot , quiet nights stay . no bother at all. full day parking one mins drive away for £7 .. can't fault at all.

Great location and only £7 during the day, free at night. It’s a little loud with the club and passers by though.

Ruhige Nacht dort verbracht direkt am Meer gelegen. 10-15 Minuten zu Fuß bis zum Pier. 5 Minuten bis zu einem Supermarkt mit Toiletten welcher 24 Stunden geöffnet ist. Öffentliche Toiletten direkt neben Parkplatz, diese sind aber furchtbar dreckig und alt. Viele Obdachlose, viele Fußgänger.

Mooie plaats! Gratis tijdens de nacht. Overdag betalend. Hoe dichter bij de pier, hoe duurder.

Parked here a few times, you do get boy racers in their cars on occasion but normally gone by midnight. Never felt unsafe. The mariner is close and great for either dinner or breakfast. You can either leave your motorhome and walk or there is 3 hours free park in Asda just park away from the entrance.

Très proche pour visiter la ville, vue sur la mer a deux pas génial, mais j'ai eu droit aussi au voiture de tuning, donc très bruyant jusqu'à environ minuit.

Vue superbe sur la mer, discothèque pas trop loin. Nuit calme, le matin des camions de chantier faisaient des aller/retour incessants.

We stayed a bit further down the road. It is nice to sleep on the sea front, but there is a club down the road called Concorde and lots of drunk people walked past so can be a bit noisy if your a light sleeper. Parking further down the road is open 9am - 8pm and there is toilet facilities. The ticket officers were just walking around as we left. 12/10/18

Guter Ausgangspunkt für einen Ausflug nach Brighton. Jedoch für die Nacht absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Die Straße wird bis in die Nacht (werktags) von Idioten mit ihren aufgemotzten Karren und Motorrädern als Rennstrecke genutzt.

Arrived at 17:00, paid £9 for 4 hours until 10:00 in the mornng. A walk along to the pier and a beer. A good night's sleep. It's quiet up near the marina.

Stationnement gratuit mais aucun service. Il est juste en face de la plage et relativement proche du centre (2km)

Parking face à la mer mais bruyant. Nous ne sommes pas restés pour la nuit.

Je comptais dormir là mais il y a un bus de SDF à proximité et des personnes louches pas loin. J'ai donc été voir ailleurs. Cependant le Asda est à 2 mn pas mal pour faire ses courses. Belle vue sur la plage.

This really is a fantastic place to stay, hours when it is free 6 pm until 10 am. but so many campervans and motorhomes park here the parking attendant doesn't give you any problems if you are in the vehicle. always a great atmosphere surrounded with friendly people. it is nice to speak to other campers there is actually parking all the way down this road and it runs along the beach fab location.

En journée pas de souci, par contre la nuit, je tenterai pas. Je suis allé au camping de la ville : certes 38 livres (4 personnes) mais camping impeccable, sanitaires nickels, électricité et tout ce qu'il faut pour les camping-cars. Ville un peu loin à pied (40 mn), mais ça permet de découvrir. Le bus est à 2.50 livres par personne

Lieu idéal pour visiter Brighton. Tranquille sauf quelques voitures de tuning. Toilettes à proximité ouvert la journée (bâtiment sur la photo).

on 15 06 2017

Vraiment sympa et la jetée est accessible en marchant 20 min au moins. Le seul point noir de ce spot les voitures de tunning faisant crisser les pneus et des rupteurs de moteurs... et la jeûneuse anglo-saxonne bruyante la nuit ^^ mais bon le réveil le matin en regardant la manche c'est génial

thatgayguy

Brilliant for parking it is only free after 6:30 p. M. And you need to get up at around 9 in the morning. just keep your eye out for the parking attendant. The first thing you will see is the street cleaners the parking attendant are in a little white van.

Cela dépanne pour visiter Brighton. Pas de souci la nuit à part quelques voitures de tuning passant à vive allure... mais faute de mieux...

Its a little bit noisy on weekends because there is movement Of cars and people going party to the marina. But it's a good place to stay and near of everything. If you want to stay all day you have to pay 16£ but at night it's free!

Stayed here loads on the sea front is has nice views, Brighton has really good night life so ideal to park up and go out in the evening

Vista sul mare, vicina al centro, può risultare rumorosa di notte!

Convenient location for an overnighter before hitting the Lanes shopping. Lots of other stealth campers too. There is a public toilet towards the pier end of the road - but it's closed overnight (it was open by 8am). Loads of great places nearby to eat and drink. Pay and display parking between 8am and 8pm (I think it was about £7 for the day) I'll be back.

It's a fun place to stay You can stay from 6 PM until 10 AM

Great place to stay the night. You need to make sure you're up and sorted in the morning before the parking people arrived it's really not a problem you can be up and out. You can't arrive to the place until 6 pm that's when the parking people stop playing silly beggars. So from 6pm until around 9am are the times you can stay. That new guy
