Our editor recommends Eastbourne as a fantastic place to stay for a seaside holiday.

Eastbourne is a stunning coastal town in Sussex - having personally visited for a two week holiday, I know that it's not hard to have thrilling experiences there. Beachy Head Cliffs are an incredible highlight and the magnificent Victorian Pier sticks out to sea, visitors will find activities to suit all interests. After a full day of exploration and excitement, why not take some time to relax at one of Eastbourne’s top seafront eateries? There are many independent cafes and restaurants as well as hotels offering wonderful food - locally caught seafood is well worth trying! From the seafront the horizon is an incredible view out to sea of the English Channel. Also on the South Downs, world-class sparkling wines are being made on wine estates - which are well worth a visit for a wine tour or tasting.

Whether you’re seeking a lavish escape or a comfortable family stay, look at the accommodation listed above and find an ideal getaway - start planning your ideal seaside vacation in Eastbourne today!
