With World Ocean Day just around the corner, we are reminded of how lucky we are to sit along Eastbourne's iconic seafront. The scenic five-mile coast boasts a beautiful beach leading into the English Channel, an attraction all year round. Whether braving a morning dip, admiring the seaviews from Beachy Head, or joining the crowds for seaside events, we love seeing our guests enjoy our surroundings just as much as we do.
Have you ever noticed how being near water instantly makes you calmer? That’s the essence of the blue mind theory, the idea that water has a powerful, natural way of restoring both body and mind. Beach days have a way of bringing people together, from stone skimming competitions, jumping over waves together or admiring the glistening water.
For those looking to explore beyond the shoreline, Eastbourne offers some of the most breathtaking coastal walks in the country. The flat and accessible promenade in Eastbourne provides a relaxed route to take in uninterrupted sea views, perfect for a leisurely stroll at any time of day. For something more dramatic, a walk up to Beachy Head reveals sweeping vistas where the cliffs meet the sea. Continuing along to the iconic Seven Sisters offers a truly unforgettable perspective of the coastline.
It’s always wonderful to see so many people visiting our hometown for picnics, days out, and seaside adventures. However, with increased footfall comes the inevitable challenge of wind-swept litter along the shore. That’s why, for the third year running, we are proud to celebrate World Ocean Day with our community beach clean. We’ll provide all the equipment you need to get involved, along with refreshments at the end as a thank you for your efforts. Together, we can help restore the beauty of our beach and ensure it’s ready to be enjoyed throughout the upcoming summer season.
