A Seaside Favourite: Why Eastbourne is a Classic That Never Goes Out of Style

Victorian charm, coastal air, and a gentler pace of life

 

There’s something about Eastbourne that keeps people coming back time and again. Maybe it’s the long seafront promenade, the elegant pier, or the way the South Downs seem to roll right into the sea. Whatever the reason, this charming coastal town remains a firm favourite for a relaxing UK break.

 

If you’re craving a few days of fresh air, classic sights and traditional seaside fun, an Eastbourne escape with Kirbys could be just what you need.

 

1. A Touch of Nostalgia – with All the Comforts

Eastbourne captures the golden era of British seaside holidays – but with the comforts of today. Expect sweeping sea views, colourful gardens, cheerful beach huts, and well-kept Victorian architecture. It's the perfect place to slow down, breathe in the sea air, and take life one gentle stroll at a time.

 

2. Explore the South Coast at Your Leisure

Our Eastbourne tour blends seaside serenity with charming excursions. You’ll explore:

Rye and Hastings – cobbled streets, historic lanes, and coastal views

Lewes and Worthing – quaint market towns with character

Plus, a free day to enjoy Eastbourne itself: visit the pier, stroll the flower-filled promenade, or sip tea by the bandstand.

 

3. Great Company and Seaside Comforts

Travel by coach from your local pick-up point and settle in at the highly rated Langham Hotel. With included dinners, comfortable sea-view rooms (subject to availability), and the company of like-minded travellers, it’s a relaxing getaway from start to finish.

Our carefully planned itinerary gives you the freedom to explore – or simply relax with a book and a view.
