In summer, a sandbar normally forms in the water which can produce waves on windy days. Brighton is well known by local surfers for producing messy but fun "stormy sessions". The Esplanade is an area of prime real estate which has been transformed over the years from a street of old cottages to new modern town houses. Brighton's Jetty Road runs perpendicular to the Esplanade and is home to many restaurants, cafes and the local hotel, known as "The Esplanade", or "Espy". Brighton jetty The original Brighton Jetty was built in 1886 and stood for over 100 years. The jetty was badly damaged by winter storms in 1994 and was rebuilt using funds supplied by a mobile phone service provider, hence the telecommunications tower on the end of the jetty.
