You step into a glass pod that eases away from the pier and, within moments, the city tilts into a new scale — the shingle beach becomes a ribbon, lanes curve like threads, and the coastline unfurls toward the horizon. At 450 feet the Brighton i360 gives you time to read the town from above while the sea pushes light along the shore.
