We walked 3 miles from Eastbourne Pier alongside the beach to Sovereign Harbour. We stopped outbound about halfway at a very nice beach front cafe where the staff were very welcoming. Got to the new Harbour which has an inner and outer entrance protected by loch gates. It's very modern and houses shops and restaurants. It's surrounded by expensive apartments as expectedon't. Nice 6 mile steady stroll.

Small Marina which is pleasant. A lovely place to live. Not sure why I see someone write about a block of housing estate flats ruining the view. As they are all new / private buildings. If you want a peaceful life this is the place. Although the only downfall is dog walkers not picking up their pets mess. Everyday I see it. Not on needs to be fixed.
Avoid the harvester on weekends as full of screaming kids & parents that don't seem to care their kids are disrupting others whilst eating. But what do you expect for a cheap place. The Thai & Italian restaurant at the harbour is the best food there. Shops include TK MAX, Boots, some cheap shoe shop & Asda's. So you will need to go
Too town for main shopping. Overall a nice place to be.

Have visited the sovereign harbour many times, plenty to see. Able to walk round it, watch the boats in and out of the lock gates. Plenty of places to eat, main meals or snacks. Close to the cinema and the shops at the crumbles. Have large free car park. I

Nice to watch the boats, (dream and pretend!) something for everyone food wise. Relaxing. Quriky little shops, a bit like the Lanes in Brighton.

Really nice with loads of places to eat. Quite upmarket but not sure if there is a bus that goes there.

I regularly go to the harbour to walk along the sea front, eat & drink with friends old and new and to take photographs.(Especially at night). It is not a large area which I think is part of its charm. Mainly a residential area as many beautiful apartments nearby.
It's a wonderful place to people watch and sip a glass of your tipple in the sunshine, watching the beautiful boats sailing in and out of the harbour and just as fun in the rain. The few cafe's and restaurants serve the area well and are always busy. My favourites being Seasons & Simply Italian. Not a large area but a friendly and happy place to be. There is also a harbour boat trip and one further afield for those who wish to go by sea to view the area. With bigger stores such as Asda and a cinema nearby in walking distance there is something for all.

Loved this place. Nice promenade along the harbour with beautiful boats on display. Excellent indoor and outdoors dining available. I was there in February but it must be buzzing in the summer!

We love the Sovereign Harbour Marina. The grandchildren always love it too. Some good restaurants for all tastes including the Harvester for family meals. My husband loves to watch the boats and daydream of the yatch he is going to own one day!! Gets a bit crowded on a sunny day but it's a lovely place to take a stroll.

If you are sailing in from the east, maybe from Dunkerque or Calais, you will have aimed to hit HW off Dungeness to have the tide with you all the way. However, this means you will reach Soveriegn on the last of the ebb. Take care, as the entrance frequently silts, and give the Barnhill (wreck to starboard) a reasonable offing.
From the west, you will probably be coming up with the last of the flood, so depth is not a problem, just don't turn in too soon.
Once in, follow the instructions from the marina. The locks have floating pontoons to tie to, so no drama hurling warps. Visitors berths are to port once through the lock, and the marina staff are very helpful and can recommend where to eat. Behind the quayside eateries there is a multi screen cinema and shopping centre. Although the supermarket is Asda, this is Eastbourne, so better than average and a good place to stock up.
Bit of a hike from Eastbourne, but if you have bikes, a good safe ride in along the seafront.
If you came by car, sorry! You are just there to provide some amusement for us sailors.

The latest place to be sampled was the Thai Marina Restaurant. A little on the expensive side but the service and food were first class. Will go again soon.

We visit here regularity as its a pleasant 30 minute stroll around the marina with always something to see. There are a number of restaurants/bars all of which get busy in the summer but you can usually get a seat. It's only a short stroll from Asda, Boots and the cinema so well worth a visit.

Visited with my girlfriend & stopped off here for a bit of lunch on our way to Eastbourne. Lovely Marina with some nice apartments. Good for a short walk. A good selection of places to eat as well.

The Soverign Harbour Marina is a pleasantenough stop, especially when the weather is fine, but whilst it has several eateries and a few boutique shops there is little else to recommend a visit. I suspect that the majority of visitors are there for the adjacent ASDA store and cinema complex.

This is certainly a nice place to walk. There are plenty of parking places if you are coming from out of the area. As all the area is flat it is good for reduced mobility or even mobility scooter users. There is a variety of places to eat and on a warm summers night it is pleasant to sit outside with a nice glass of wine. You can either walk around the harbour or even along the beach if the fancy takes you. Give it a try.

We walked from Eastbourne and ate at the Harvester, which was very busy - menu more for main meal of the day then light lunch and then walked back Good walk

The Marina is my favourite place to indulge with a glass of whiled white wine or an aperitivo continental style on a sunny summer day in Eastbourne. The atmosphere reminds me of the marinas in the south of France, it is so lovely to sit outside on the terrace of the various restaurants (my fav is Simply Italian for the choice of nibbles and drinks) while lazily people and boat watching ! Also recommended for a perfect evening al fresco meal with the sun setting behind the houses and the moored boats. Lots of happy memories of all the times spent there
