Eastbourne
Eastbourne is home to Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters and the beautiful South Downs which stretch across East Sussex and West Sussex, where many a good walk has been enjoyed, which are now part of a protected National Park. Don’t forget a trip to the Birling Gap, where the cliffs enclave the sea and where lunch and a few drinks will refresh you after a days walking or sunbathing.
The pier and the bandstand where they have afternoon concerts and sometimes dancing, along with, more recently, tribute concerts from the Beatles, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones to Abba, to name a few, are also close by; as is the Wish Tower which has a super view of the coastline from its restaurant where you can have a drink and a bite to eat. Just one mile along the coast is the new Sovereign Harbour village which has nice shops and restaurants and is well worth a visit if only to look at the yachts. Eastbourne also has four theatres - the Congress, the Devonshire Park, the Royal Hippodrome and the Winter Garden which attract many acts and visitors throughout the year.
If you would like to do a little shopping while in Eastbourne - Terminus road and the Arndale shopping centre offers a wide range of shops.
