Low-cost intercity coach service FlixBus has announced an exciting new travel option that'll get you sunbathing by the shore - and it won't cost the earth.
Passengers can be transported from London to the sought-after holiday destination for just £4.49.
The budget coach operator has launched a twice-daily route from London to Brighton - along with free wi-fi and charging ports.
Andreas Schorling, senior managing director of FlixBus UK, said: "Londoners now have even more affordable, sustainable and reliable travel options for weekend getaways, airport connections and visiting friends and family this summer.
"Brighton is an iconic British destination and we're excited to offer a direct route from the capital just in time for the warmer months."
He continued: 'Brighton is such a vibrant, inclusive city, especially during the summer, and we can't wait to offer passengers the chance to visit for the first time on our network.
'The people of Brighton will now have a fantastic service to central London, Cambridge and Gatwick. Known for its dedication to sustainability, it's a perfect match for FlixBus.'
The London to Brighton route will stop at both Gatwick Terminals on route.
The company now serves more than 80 UK destinations including the recent additions of Bournemouth, Newquay and Truro.
Tickets are available at or through the FlixBus app.
The UK's best beach bar – with DJ sets, sunset views and signature cocktails
The three mile Brighton Blue Flag beach is full of pebbles - but that doesn't deter visitors.
Tripadvisor recently revealed their top beaches in Europe - with some in the UK making the cut.
The world's largest travel guidance platform has announced its ' Best of Beaches for 2025' sorted purely by review data.
While the UK didn't bag the top spot, three of our beautiful beaches made it onto the list.
Weymouth Beach in Dorset is a firm favourite and for its fourth year in a row has cemented a spot on the list, this time in twentieth place.
The sandy beach at Gorleston-on-Sea, in Norfolk, has come in at number 23.
The beach in Norfolk stretches for three miles and is considered to be quieter than the famous Great Yarmouth beach which is two miles up the road.
Also found in Dorset, Bournemouth Beach spans over seven-miles and the promenade is lined with Instagrammable multi-coloured beach huts.
Bournemouth also has its own pier with an arcade and theatre, as well as an indoor rock climbing wall and a zip line that launches from a tower 25 metres above the sea.
