Well worth a visit, very picturesque, lots of restaurants overlooking the harbour. Can be very busy especially during the high season. Wheelchair/pushchair access available.

Sovereign Harbour has a continental feel to the quayside shops and restaurants area. Sadly that is but a small part and too much is just moorings next to residential frontages. An opportunity missed in this development, but that was long ago in planning stages!
Lots of interest to watch around the lock giving access to the sea, subject to tides. There is a maze of walkways to explore, and many different mooring lagoons. People watching would gain 5-stars, especially watching people on boats and vice versa.
The beach area outside the lagoons is shingle, as this area used to be The Crumbles, famed for shingle extraction for building and other purposes through the sixties and seventies.
Shopping superstores plus multiplex cinema just behind the main quay area, and good overall parking offered.

It is a very relaxing place, 15mn driving from Beachy Head; cars are not authorized; all sorts of luxury boats; the place is really quiet and offers nice restaurants; we had dinner at the Marina Thai, really good!

A place for the in crowd, all the expensive boats moored here. There were some working boats but not many.
Worth a visit, couple of watering holes worth dropping into.

Pleasant place for a mosey around the shops and a coffee or meal in one of the harbour side cafes/ restaurants. We were lucky enough to watch a boat being launched! Plenty of parking.

Plenty of free parking and toilets. Then have a good walk around the marina right upto the beach.
The marina has various places to eat - outside and in. Great variety to make the choice difficult.

This is nice for sitting outside the Restaurants for a relaxing Meal or Drink. Especially on a Sunny Day. There's a Land Train, 'The Dotto' which can take you. It's a 3 Mile Walk from the Burlington Hotel, each way, along the Coast Path if you wish to Walk.

This marina is well worth visiting. It has some very decent vessels moored up to view whilst taking a stroll through the marina or indeed having a meal or a cup of tea etc. In one of the very attractive cafe areas built alongside this buitiful harbour. I enjoyed the views and atmosphere for approximately Two hours. Parking is free which is an added bonus

The harbour has been very nicely done, lots of places to eat and also quite good for shopping. There are several boat trips which look good

Lovely place to spend a nice bright afternoon. Plenty of activity between the many restaurants, boat watching (some fabulous yachts here), and watching the bridge go up and down as the boats enter or leave the harbour. Lots of what look like massive carp swimming around, great for grandchildren/children to watch.

Lovely for a lunch visit or coffee on a sunny day.
Variety of places to eat including, Thai, Italian, American Diner, and Indian.
There is a Harvester if you're looking for a cheap family meal, but not very clean, and service is slow.
Nice to walk around, beach can be reached in 5 minutes.
Delieto's is good for coffee and light lunches.
There is retail park 5 minutes walk from harbour including, Next TK Maxx, Boots, Cineworld, and Asda Store.
Plenty of free parking available

Visited here to see how it had changed since we were last in Eastbourne. It has quite a pleasant atmosphere with many restaurants to suit all tastes. You can even take a boat trip around the marina to see the boats up close. A nice place for people watching in the sunshine.

Lovely marina with restaurants and friendly people walking their small dogs. The restaurants are varied also and mainly cater for residents so no lager louts about. Long beach where you can walk to Eastbourne within 30 minutes. Pebbly beach so bring something to sit on. Long sunny days, think sunniest place in the UK. Feels like you are in Spain rather than the UK really.
