The most beautiful part of Brighton was 'The Lanes'. The cliffs and Beachy Head in Eastbourne on the other hand were quite quaint and pretty
I spent 3 years in Brighton many years ago, studying at, correction - attending Sussex University* a few miles outside Brighton. The Lanes are interesting and The Dome (not the millenium thingy) is also worth a visit. Enough pubs and restaurants to keep the students happy though.
I'm not sure "quaint" is the word to describe the cliffs, Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters. Dramatic, and crumbling, would be more appropriate. I visit an aunt in Seaford and have a nephew in Eastbourne studying Physical Education, so I am there fairly frequently. Bits of the cliffs keep falling into the sea; they moved a lighthouse recently, quite an engineerig feat. I'm told that exposing a new face on the cliffs is cheaper than having to keep painting them white.

* Of which the University song, sung to the tune of the British Grenadiers is:
Some come because of Fulton and some because of Spence
And some because they feel like, 3 years at the government's expense
But for all the best known re-a-sons for coming to SUSSEX,
It's not so much for the S-U-S,
It's for S-E-X!
Fulton was the go ahead Vice Chancellor and Basil Spence the architect (sorry - designer/builder)
