Newest Review: ... are lots of areas where you can get easy access to the beach either via steps or ramps. Unfortunately the beach is pebbles rather than sand which is a shame and means that paddling and sitting on the beach are considerably less pleasurable than at other seaside resorts. Eastbourne also has a pier which is quite long and has an observatory on the end of it, though every time I have been this has been shut, perhaps because I have mostly been in off-season. The pier also has a club and amusements hall, a fish and chip shop and a few small independent shops. One sells glassworks, another sells silk flowers, and there is a sweet shop a... more

Premium Review Eastbourne in General: Oh I do like to be beside the seaside (618 words)

I have visited Eastbourne quite a few times recently and finally feel qualified to write a review on it. Eastbourne is a seaside town in the South East of England. It has a bit of a reputation as being a place where older retired people go to spend their last few years, but I think it is much more than that. The seafront of Eastbourne is very nice. There are many beautiful flower displays along the front which are very well kept and add some colour and prettiness to the town. The buildings along the seafront are also well maintained and their imposing Victorian exteriors add a sense of class to the vista. There is a lovely bandstand where there are ...  Read the complete review

Eastbourne - God's waiting room - The land of the dead - Oh and my home town! Its not all bad, I must confess - Although I now live in Manchester, I still hold memories of Eastbourne. Shopping - With the Arndale and the Enterprise shopping centres in town, you do have a fair selection of shops - Some a bit more unusual in forms floating around the Enterprise centre (which you cannot miss if you travel to the Bourne Via train), and also your general retailers around the Arndale and high street. Dining - This I can not hold fault at, as opposed to chain after chain (I.E Cafe Rouge, Bella Italia Etc Etc) You have refreshing ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Eastbourne in General: Eastbourne - a great place to visit (166 words)

Well I am not born and bred in Eastbourne, and chose to move here a few years ago, because I love this town. It is not 'God's waiting room', as people would have you believe (but don't tell too many people, as I love this town the way it is and do not want it to change). It is a very clean, tidy, typically Victorian seaside resort. Neighbouring towns of Brighton and Hastings are much dirtier and their buildings are a mish mash, here (mostly) the architecture is still very much Victorian (on the seafront). We have great theatre's, cinema's and a whole host of restaurants - Pommodoro Mozzarella being my favourite. There are so many events throughout the year that are ...  Read the complete review

I have lived near eastbourne my whole life. It is very close to towns such a lewes and brighton. Although very close to Brighton, it is a very different style of town. Eastbourne is cleaner and quieter which generally attracts the older generation. The sea froont in eastbounre is so so vwell kept, with a lovely peir which has a couple of pubs and arcades and the deck chairs which everyone wants on the summer. The Sea front has a lovely traditional bandstand and stunning flowerbeds and gardens, ideal for sitting in when the weather allows. Shopping in Eastbourne isnt the best, there is a small shopping centre, but not with the best ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Eastbourne in General
by Elizabeth - written on 17/04/07

Eastbourne, the sunshine town with quiet dignity, fantastic shopping and no crowds. For the unusual why not try shopping at The Enterprise Shopping Centre, right behind the station. I got a fab fairy from Brightest Blessings on the first floor. The centre has food and gifts to delight every taste. I am definately going back for more fairies and dragons at much less than Brighton and without the crush.
