The Marina itself is ok to walk around and you can take dogs around, on a lead as it would be unsafe to have them off leads as dogs can enter the water easily but it would be almost impossible to get them out again - but only if you enjoy looking at dirty water, boats and flats/houses as they are on one side the whole way around. You can see a few fish if you look carefully.

There are notices up telling people not to feed the birds :(

There are a lot of restaurants to one side and they are the main reason most people come to the Marina and there is a wide choice of different restaurants - some of which are very good. Prices tend to be a little bit on the high side due to the fact they are in a marina!

Sovereign Harbour Marina is a perfect place to chill and relax with it's Boutiques,Restaurants and Cafes set in perfect surroundings of the waterfront. You can even mix pain with pleasure if you wish by shopping until you drop in the Retail Park prior to a relaxing meal or just a drink.

There are 4 separate marinas a shopping park with a cinema and restaurant area. Some nice eating places including a Thai, Italian, pub with restaurant and others. On a summers evening one could be on the Med, lots of outside tables. The marina entrance has the largest lock gates in Europe.Well worth a visit.

The Marina has good parking and easy access walkways, accessible by bus too. There is plenty to do, shops, restaurants and places to walk. You can watch the boats go in and out of the Marina with children, walk out to the sea, see the local seal, or just have a bite to eat.

I discovered Sovereign Harbour and it's Marina by accident over 8 years ago. As I explored further I thought it was the most superb development I'd ever seen. It had style and class, the entire place was beautifully manicured and sustained. I fell in love with it and decided in that moment that it was the place I wanted to live. I subsequently found a house and have lived here ever since. Even today after 8 years as a resident it still impresses me and I've never regretted the decision. The range of bars and restaurants at the Marina is excellent, as is the wide selection of quality shops in the adjacent retail park. I would recommend a visit to anyone.

This marina is one of the largest in Europe with 4 linked harbours where there are boats of all sizes. it was initially opened in 1993.It is very interesting to stroll round. There are some exclusive properties here that are gated besides the harbour. A good selection of restaurants and cafes. Also a small Retail park that includes Asda, Boots, Sports Direct, Next etc. It is worth a visit. Free parking and on Bus route number 99.

We visited one early evening, we found it very interesting, a hive of activity watching the fishing boats leave the Harbour. The Marina has board walk ways and seats, where you can relax with a drink. There are also lots of eateries offering a wide range of food, from burgers, fish, steaks etc. There is ample free parking,

A good assortment of shops- Azda, Boots, TK Max, Next, shoe shops, furniture store and a multiplex cinema. Plenty of eateries right next to the waters edge where you can sit and watch the world go by -Thai, Simply Italian, Coffe shop/ cafe and a fish and chip shop. Bus services- 51 to the Harbour or 98 and 99 from Eastbourne and get off at Asda and walk through past the shops to the harbour.

We live right on the harbour and it's such a lovely walk around the harbour. Our two year old loves riding his scooter around and looking for fish and at the boats that are docked there.

Had a great walk around the harbour lovely boats and you can even have a trip around in a boat. They also sell them but they were a bit out of my price range 😁

Nice lot of shops and restaurants, and a very nice place to walk around on a sunny day to look at the varied boats moored here. When we visited last summer there was live music on offer.

I like sovereign harbour and live in Eastbourne. There are a few good restaurants and coffee houses in the area but for me the walk around sovereign harbour is the best. I love looking at the boats and the marina, then walking onto there beach area. Depending on how i feel i can walk from 30 minutes to a couple of hours going all the way down towards Pevensey Bay.

The cineworld cinema is worth checking out on a not so nice day as it is just a walk around the corner.
