Stops in order
The text version of the route: stops, time at each and the legs between them. Times are estimates, without queues, traffic or swims.
1. Middle Brighton station~5 min at the stop
The Sandringham line ends this trip a short street-walk from the sea. The sand is about fifteen minutes downhill.
Tip: The train back can be Brighton Beach station if you walk on to Green Point and would rather not return by the same street.

2. Brighton bathing boxes~30 min at the stop
The row of painted bathing boxes on Dendy Street Beach. They are private sheds. The view is from the sand.
Worth knowing: The boxes have stood on Dendy Street beach since the 19th century, when sea bathing needed a private changing hut. They are still privately leased.
Tip: Stay outside them. Morning light falls on the fronts. Swim if the flags are up on the beach.

The south end of this stretch of sand, already quieter than the boxes. Brighton Beach station is close, on the Sandringham line.
Tip: The bay wind is cold. The train back to the city is at Brighton Beach.

Before you go
- Route times are estimates: walking, driving and a sensible pause at each stop. Add queues, traffic and swims yourself.
- Prices, timetables and trail status change. Check the venue's official site and the state transport app before you go.
- On beaches, swim only between the red and yellow flags. Use sun protection even when it is cloudy.
