Food scene
Eastbourne's main resort beach runs from the Pier to Wish Tower, half a mile to the south. Backing the beach is the promenade lined with grand Victoria hotels leaving little doubt of Eastbourne seaside resort heritage.
There are plenty of other vintage features too, including a fine bandstand, hosting regular excellent brass and tribute band concerts all of which often end with an amazing firework display. One of the beach's is indeed the town's most prominent features is the 1,000ft (300m) long pier. Opened in 1870 this grand pier has an impressive pavilion at the seaward end. However, over the years it has suffered at the hands of storms, wartime bombs and more
recently a fire in 2014. The good news is that the pier has been fully repaired and is open for business as usual.
Most beaches in Eastbourne are not sandy. It is a typical south coast beach with pebbles and shingle divided up by a series of wooden groins. There are however some patches of sand on the beaches and at low time, a significant sandy area with rock pools is revealed. An excellent natural playground for children.
