What could be finer to banish stress and strain than a sunny seaside escape in East Sussex, with far-reaching views of the sea and pier? The beach is just across the road, at the north-eastern end of the iconic Grand Parade. Couples, friends and families will adore exploring Eastbourne’s quaint seaside charm, with its theatres, independent boutiques, galleries, museums, eateries, beaches and gardens. From Beachy Head (3 miles) to the pale Seven Sisters (6 miles), breathtaking views abound from all four Eastbourne beaches. From Royal Parade Beach’s water sports, Pier Beach’s historic ambience and the seclusion of Western Parade and Holywell Retreat Beaches (both 1.5 miles), find your own piece of heaven.
Stairs from the main entrance lead up to this top floor apartment. Inside you’ll find a calm seaside sanctuary, steeped in blissful blue views of sea and sky and the pier’s gilded pleasure domes. Gather for breakfast in the bright bay window, discussing today’s adventures. Return with fresh local seafood for supper, prepared with ease and an ocean backdrop in the streamlined galley-style kitchen. Gather for intimate nights of wine and reminiscence in the cosy lounge/diner, before a soak in the relaxing bathroom. The king-size master bedroom whispers of enticing nautical dreams, of lighthouses, sailing boats and seashells.
Find more fabulous beaches at Birling Gap (6 miles), Normans Bay (7 miles) and Cuckmere Haven (9.5 miles). Seek fossils at Seaford Head (9.5 miles) and rare species at its nature reserve. Beautiful Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles), historic Hastings (17 miles) and bustling Brighton (24 miles) offer unique wonders, like Bexhill’s quirky museum, Hastings’ ruined Norman castle, and the exquisite Brighton Pavilion.
