Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Eastbourne Beach (East Sussex) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun.

The beach is an ideal spot for unwinding, soaking up the sun, and taking a refreshing dip in the water! Regrettably, I was unable to locate any facilities for changing clothes.

The beach is an exquisite retreat for those who want to unwind after a tiring day or engage in various sports activities. During my visit to Eastbourne in 2019, I had a pleasant stay in this charming town, and the highlight of my trip was undoubtedly the stunning beach and its accompanying pier. I miss Eastbourne dearly and cannot wait to return to this idyllic location.

My hometown boasts one of the most picturesque beaches and flower gardens along the southeastern coast. After a tragic fire, the pier has been rebuilt and now offers a delightful spot for tea, fish and chips, ice cream, and comfortable seating areas. Nature photographers will find it to be the perfect place to capture the beauty at its best. Although the beach is stone-based, during low tide, you can walk along the sand with the water flowing over your feet, creating a serene and picturesque setting. The seafront is lined with cafes and kiosks, offering everything from ice cream to beach items like rubber rings and sunglasses. A leisurely stroll down to the base of Beachy Head cliffs is a must-see, as it is a stunning sight to behold, as seen in my photos. If you are looking for a gorgeous setting, scenic walks, and delightful cafes, then this is the perfect destination for you. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

The beach is a beautiful location, but it falls short of perfection. The ground is not composed of sand, but rather of gravel that is somewhat large and uncomfortable to traverse or sit on. Despite this, the beach is meticulously maintained, and the amenities are well-kept. During my visit, the weather was windy, chilly, and overcast, which contributed to a general sense of grime and discomfort. The lack of people around made the atmosphere seem dull and lifeless.
