Brighton Fishing Museum is tucked under the arches on the seafront, preserving the story of the city's fishing community. The museum features a reconstructed net shop, historic fishing boats, and displays of tools and photographs that bring the past to life. Visitors can see a working net-mending demonstration and learn about the fishermen who have worked from Brighton's beach for centuries. It's a compact but authentic insight into a local tradition that still continues today.
