We spent a few (weeks? days? I was 8) in Brighton once. Yes on the rocky beach. My strongest memory, though, is a) running back and forth to feed coins into the gas meter so we could turn the heat on, while b) looking at the newspaper which blared, over most of the top of the page, "Heat Wave Continues! No Relief in Sight! Temperatures Hit High 70s!" (that's Fahrenheit - don't know if it was actually shown in that or I got it translated from Celsius/Centigrade and embedded it into the memory).
We were not only Americans, but Americans who had spent (most of) the last three years in Afghanistan. 70s was _cold_.
