Things to do

You might simply want to laze on the beach all day.

Or work your way through the dozens of flavours at our delicious Italian-style ice cream parlour.

Then again, you might want an action-packed holiday.

Whatever your type of break, here are a few of our favourite things to do....

  • Take in a show at one of Eastbourne’s four theatres – often home to touring comedians, musicians and West End hits
  • Hop on the open top bus to Beachy Head, Birling Gap and East Dean village

  • Skoot, skate or walk the 5km length of our lovely promenade
  • Catch your breath with coffee, cake and stunning sea views in the Beach Deck cafe on the promenade
