Getting There / Parking:
Brighton Fishing Museum is on the beach level of the seafront opposite The Old Ship Hotel.
The nearest disabled parking spaces are probably in a tiny road which loops from the southern end of East Street to the seafront called Brill Lane or in Madeira Drive just east of Brighton Pier. There are ramps at intervals along the seafront to take you down to the beach level. These are more acute the nearer you get to the pier and more gentle the nearer you are to Hove.
There is no accessible toilet.

Getting In:
The entrance to the museum is totally flat and in my experience the door is always open when the museum is open.
-
Getting Around / Facilities:
Once inside, there are no problems in getting around, the only thing which I was unable to do as a scooter user, was to climb the five stairs to look into the fishing boat which is in the museum. The other thing which I found a bit awkward was trying to read the descriptions which accompanied the wall exhibits, because I was too low.

Additional Comments:
The museum is not huge, but is very interesting.
