Our second visit .Walked to this place from Eastbourne last year-it's a longer walk than anything locals tell you but nice walk. Lovely marina. Second visit made to find food. Plenty on offer & free parking.

This is a development of flats and a lovely harbour full of private yachts. Plenty of restaurants and places to chat. Great place for a sunny afternoon. Boat trips too.

Having not visited Eastbourne for years, we drove along to have a look at the marina - what a find! It turned out to be a really hot day and after running to buy some suncream, we sat and watched all the comings and goings with the boats. We did the boat tour around the harbour which was excellent and learned a lot. We then visited one of the quayside cafés for lunch and both felt that it would be a wonderful place to live. Well done the architects, a great place with lots to do and see. The marina is free to visit and walk around with lots to see for all the family. There are a plethora of cafés, restaurants and ice cream parlours and boat and people watching is a good game !

Good mix of bars and restaurants, and lots of events at weekends. Good price range - from more expensive Thai, through to good Indian, mid-priced meditteranean and fish and chips! Great to chill and watch boats sailing through.

Visited here several times lovely clean place - Excellent Indian Restaurant, The Ganges 5* with a beautiful setting overlooking the Marina. There is a lively pub which occasionally have live groups. Plenty of Parking. There is also a Thai, Italian and a Harvester Restaurant so you won't go hungry. You can also have a Boat trip around the Marina.

Lovely place to sit in the sunshine and have a drink or two. Or even go for a meal any time of day. Now I'm a dog lover, but I wish people with dogs would pick up there mess.

Take some time to watch the boats going through the double locks. There is always something going on there. The Eastbourne lifeboat is based in the marina.

With toilets, shops, cafe's, restaurants and a large free car park you can while away many an hour or two.

Could any interesting place. It is a shame however that a lot of the boats moored there, have weed around their waterline. Cleary a sign that they don't get taken out to sea much. Presumably more of a status than an actual sea going adventure!

Lots of places to eat. Very cosmopolitan. It's nice to just walk around and see all the nice yachts. You can just sit and people watch, have lunch, a drink or just while away time. We tried the Harvested pub, which was very popular but there was a 40 minute wait for a table so we ate at one of the smaller establishments of which there are several to choose from.

When the marina is busy & the sun is out it's a vibrant & enjoyable place to be, but when it's cold/wet & dead it's a bore

Sovereign Harbour is a lovely place to have lunch. I have eaton at most of the restaurants and always enjoy lunching there. It is a real pleasure to sit outside looking onto the marina, on a sunny day it feels like you are on holiday abroad. On some Sundays they have live music at lunchtime which you can hear from all the restaurants so makes for a great atmosphere. The boat trio around the marina is also worth doing.

Fab location, lots of restaurants and bars, you can take a boat tour of the marina which is cheap, or just walk about. Well worth a visit

Perhaps we did not give the marina enough time as we went only to one area and it was busy because it was a bank holiday Saturday. We have however visited many marinas and we did not feel that this one matched up to the eating / entertainment offered by others such as Gunwharf Quays marina Portsmouth for example.

We took the little Noddy train to the Marina and had a drink in one of the bars. A very enjoyable day out and we returned by bus.
