An Eastbourne seaside escape begins here, on England’s glorious Sunshine Coast. The sunny seaside town sits just over an hour from London. It nestles between historic 1066 Country and the magnificent South Downs National Park. Few destinations blend coast and countryside so beautifully.
Stroll along three miles of palm tree-lined promenade. Step onto the iconic Victorian Pier. Take in a show at the elegant 1930s Bandstand. Or simply gaze out across the breath-taking blue.
Plan your perfect Eastbourne seaside escape
An Eastbourne seaside escape suits every kind of traveller. Need a break from the nine to five? Crave a traditional seaside holiday? Fancy an inspiring cultural trip? Eastbourne delivers on every count.
Families love the gentle beaches and friendly seafront. Couples adore the splendid Victorian architecture and glorious gardens. The cosmopolitan harbour buzzes with restaurants serving cuisine from around the world. There is always something good to discover.
Coastal landmarks and the South Downs
The scenery here is truly unforgettable. Beachy Head rises in dramatic white cliffs above the sea. The Heritage Coast leads onward to the famous Seven Sisters. Walkers and photographers find endless inspiration along these paths.
Inland, the South Downs National Park offers rolling hills and quiet villages. Unspoilt countryside lies within easy reach of the seafront. You can swap salt air for green hills in minutes. It is the best of both worlds.
Heritage, culture and year-round events
Eastbourne is far more than a summer destination. A year-round programme of events keeps the calendar full. Live entertainment, festivals and cultural attractions await all season. Theatres and galleries add elegance to any visit.
The town wears its heritage with pride. Period buildings, seafront gardens and grand promenades recall a gracious age. Yet the mood stays fresh, lively and welcoming. This is a coast that rewards a longer stay.
The visitor guide brings all this inspiration together in one place. Inside you will find ideas, highlights and practical tips for your trip. From day plans to hidden corners, it helps you make the most of every moment. Your perfect coastal getaway starts with a single page.
