An assortment of eating establishments some on first floor.
Can amble around the harbour for a round trip including the locks providing access and egress. Fascinating array of boats.
In summer a trip can be taken on small launch around inner harbour areas with commentary.Reasonable cost.
Also, trips can be had out of the harbour into and along English Channel but expensive in my view
Car parking is free and there are public toilets.
Particularly lovely spot in sunny weather

Weekend away with the Swan Radcot Cruiser Club and an enjoyable morning spent in the Marina. coffee houses/restaurant's the Harbour Club and so many boats to see was delightful. Only downside was directions to Marina and car parking which could be better.

Sea shore walks; harbour full of boats and fish; excellent restaurants, cafe's and bars; and free parking. If you want a day at the seaside without the amusement arcade style attractions this is the alternative.

The Marina is always nice for a short trip out and a bite to eat. There is access to the beach if you want a longer walk but walking around the Marina itself is very pleasant. There are many boats to look at and you can watch as the locks are opened and shut to let boats in and out. There are a good variety of eateries and coffee shops. You can go for a quick drink, a snack or a full blown meal at any time of day. It is lovely to sit on a bench over looking the water on a sunny day just chilling out. There is a cinema and shops there too so a little retail therapy too.

The harbour is a lovely place to have a wonder around, especially if you are into boats. It is particularly lovely during the summer months, but still has its charms during winter. There are numerous eateries with varied menus where you can have a long lunch and do some people watching. Loads of free parking or there is a good bus service from the town centre.

excellent choice from fish and chip shop, coffee shop, restaurants snd pubs all in a clean well laid out marina.
For a small fee you can take a trip on the boat around the marina or take a walk to the outer wall and Seal watch.

We hadn't been to this marina since it was built and were really impressed. It covers a huge plot with four separate basins that you can nearly walk around the whole of the perimeter.As would be expected the boats are on secure pontoons but close enough to be see. Small shopping and eating area around the main lock area. Lovely walk from town along the prom for lunch and a look at the boats

The harbour is a wonderful friendly buzzy place come rain or shine and all of the restaurants (too many to name) are of excellent quality and represent a great cross section of tastes from around the world and some like The Ganges have spectacular views.

A harbor is a harbor... No ! This one is elegant and clean with beautiful houses around.
You can do a trip by boat in the canals. Be careful of the schedules...

Lovely Marina with just enough to do to make a visit worthwhile. Selection of waterfront restaurants which should meet most tastes and a couple of retail shops selling boutique type lines. Boat trips around Marina available. No admission fee which seems like should given but so often sonehow they are sneaked in! Thai restaurant nice but if you want english or just fish and chips all are available. Quieter out of season but in heght of summer you could find quite crowded by visitors and the yachting fraternity so be prepared to wait for a table etc. There is a modest retail park quite close by fir those who cannot go a day without shopping.

On a cold wet January day we visited Sovereign Harbour. Lots to see and there is a great selection of restaurants and cafe's around the harbour. With better weather a great place to visit.

There are many different shops beside the marina entrance. The marina it's self is very beautiful and a lovely walk. You can then go and have a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants nearby or even go and watch a film. There are toilets in the shops and restaurants.

Great for walking on the flat ... lovely harbour views and, if you are interested in dreaming, lots of very expensive yachts to admire!! Disabled access and great for the older walker who prefers to stay on the flat. You can enjoy walking from the Marina into Eastbourne with plenty of benches to rest on.

I couldn't believe we got to sit outside in the sun on a glorious January day. We had a glass of wine and watched the boats coming and going. We then had dinner in the Thai restaurant. Lovely place to watch the world go by and waste a couple of hours.
