Brighton Marina is a large, artificial marina situated in Brighton, England. Constructed between 1971 and 1979, the marina covers an area of approximately 127 acres.[1]

The land within the marina has been developed in several stages and now accommodates a large Asda supermarket and two developments of boutique shops, a number of restaurants and bars, a hotel, a bowling alley, a multiplex cinema, a health club, a casino, and a multi-storey car-park built over the cinema. There are also several developments of flats, and of course facilities for the boats moored in the marina and their users, ranging from boat sales and service companies through to a launderette at the mooring level.

From time to time there have been summer-season passenger services to Fécamp in France using small catamaran ferries.
