Eastbourne is a charming sea village in Sussex. Sea, sand, beach with well kept Victorian houses and hotels on the boulevard. At night you're welcomed by a coastline decorated with small little lamps on this boulevard. Eastbourne has spectaculair seesights, a couple of museums end a beautiful pier. This pier since 1865 is just renovated into one of the most favorite hot-spots of Eastbourne. Every half an hour a train leaves Victoria Station London for Eastbourne, because Eastbourne is the sunniest place in the United Kingdom(no kidding!). A lot of London people lay on the Eastbourne beach. On the beach you have a couple of nice beachpavilions with terrasses where you can hire kajaks en surfboards. If you take a walk over the Grand Parade boulevard, you will reach the chalk-cliff at the boarder of Eastbourne. If the water is low, a guide will walk you through the water past the cliff. Beachy Head is just 6 kilometres from the centre of Eastbourne.
A mixture of rough nature and rich shoppingfacilities makes Eastbourne a big favorite of school pupils. There are many cultural and sportive activities to attent and there is even an "Eastbourne Bandstand" where the latest bands perform in open-air.
If you don't need beach, sand and spectaculair views all the time... London is only one and a half hour away and in less then half an hour you're from Eastbourne to Brighton.
