An Eastbourne seaside holiday promises sunshine, fresh air and simple pleasures by the water. Picture three miles of palm tree-lined promenade. Picture the iconic Victorian Pier stretching out to sea. This sunny town sits just over an hour from London, between historic 1066 Country and the South Downs National Park.
Breathe in the beautiful coastal air. Take a gentle stroll from cosmopolitan Sovereign Harbour to secluded Holywell Beach. Fly a kite, hunt for ammonites or simply settle on a bench and watch the world go by.
Plan the perfect Eastbourne seaside holiday
There is something here for every kind of traveller. Families will love the wealth of attractions. Go wet and wild, meet the meerkats or try rockpooling along the shore. Older visitors can enjoy the elegant 1930s Bandstand and beautiful seafront gardens.
Entertainment runs all year round. Catch West End musicals, top comedians and hundreds of events and festivals. Many are completely free. Culture lovers should not miss the world-class Towner Art Gallery, the Heritage Trail and the majestic moated Herstmonceux Castle.
Coast and countryside on the doorstep
Few places offer such variety in one trip. Gaze at the breathtaking cliffs of Beachy Head. Follow the Heritage Coast towards the famous Seven Sisters. Then turn inland to the rolling hills of the South Downs.
The town blends unspoilt scenery with splendid Victorian architecture. Wander cobbled corners, sample cuisine from around the world and browse a fine mix of high street and independent shops. Cosy cafes and welcoming restaurants are never far away.
Stay your way along the Sunshine Coast
Accommodation suits every taste and budget. Choose a sophisticated seafront hotel or a friendly guest-house. Prefer something different? Try a tipi or a quaint country cottage at the foot of the downs.
