Sovereign Harbour is really a very pleasant place to while away some time. Good berthing facilities. Good shops and restaurants by the water and retail park nearby. Walk along the beach path or dabble your toes in the water. The management company certainly keep the place in pretty good order and tidy. We visit a few times every year and never had anything to complain about in general (apart from the terrible service in the Thai restaurant)....

nice place for a stroll. Lots of restaurant to choose from lovely ice creams sold here.Also lovely shop with lots of interesting and different items for sale. Well worth a visit even for a drink and watch the world go by.

It's a marina with a bog standard retail park attached. Hardly worth the effort of the two mile walk we made from Eastbourne along the prom to get there.
The restaurants are decent enough and Pablos steak special on the Tuesday evening we visited was fine, but the shops you can find in any retail park anywhere. Boots, Next, TK Maxx, Brantano et al. Plus Asda! We were hoping for something a bit more quirky and original given the setting.
Watching the boats navigate the locks was fascinating, and it it is nice to eat a meal on a warm evening outside watching the mariners go about their business, but as an attraction I feel it doesn't quite measure up.

My friend loves this place as he loves to watch the boats. We caught the dotto train which is less than 5 mins walk then to the marina. There are plenty of places to eat including a chippy, American diner and Harvester. There is a small shop selling boutique style items but it is quite expensive. There is a boat trip too, which my friend enjoyed. Its an ok place to visit if boats are your kind of thing.

Lots of boats to look at. Enclosed space surrounded by housing. Lots of envy as you see how the other half live. :-) not worth a special trip unless you're into boats.

There are plenty of eating places at this beautiful Eastbourne marina, from fish and chips to Indian restaurant, Italian, Thai (if you want a truly fantastic meal, a bit more expensive but worth it) even a Harvester. You can sit and watch the world go by and the boats some large some small but all beautiful. There is a boat trip you can take priced reasonably, which takes you round the inner marina and gives you a very comprehensive and knowledgeable tour. There is also an out of town shopping centre just near by with some good shops including Next, TK Max, a massive shoe shop called Brantano so lots to see and do around this area

Sovereign Harbour Marina is worth a visit, but not worth going out of your way for. It's a pleasant place for a leisurely walk around the harbour, but it can be very quiet,particularly in the evening. A selection of restaurants and a nearby retail park offer something to pass the time but I wouldn't describe it as a must visit location.

Came today with my dad, his wife and my boyfriend and it was a really lovely afternoon out!! We live about an hour away near gatwick and it was definitely worth the drive!
My dad and his wife come here about once a month for dinner and they love it!
Very relaxing atmosphere, lots of lovely restaurants/ shops.
The shops are nice, various items and various prices! One shop sells all different things, photoframes, chest of drawers, clocks, clothes, jewellery etc but all reasonably priced!! I brought some sterling silver studs for £12 so not to bad at all!
We walked around the harbour which was a really lovely walk, watched the boats coming in and out and we had a walk along the beach!
Definitely worth a visit, and once you've been here it's worth a visit to beachy head!! Fantastic views on offer!!

lovely area to visit, with retail park for shopping for clothes and things, also abundance of eateries, from Chinese, Italian, and harvester pub, all surrounded by lovely harbourside and all the boats, Make sure to catch a bus from Eastbourne, as over 1 hour to walk all the way

Went to Sovereign Harbour Marina whilst staying at Pevensey Bay and thought it a bit of a waste of time.
Its a Marina with plenty of boats and overpriced Restaurants & Shops.
Did not stay too long and overall a bit disappointed with the whole affair.
I can imagine that if you are Nautical minded then your overall view might be different to mine so to be fair, what's not my cup of tea might turn out to be a pleasurable experience for others.

This place is terrible to get to from Eastbourne sea front by public transport. What a shame for tourists.
Once there plenty to see and restaurants and cafes. Good for photos

We walk dogs here as there is no mud and they stay clean , you can do any number of different walks here not just a loop around , there is food, toilets, including disabled and it is really flat . Seats are located most of the way round.You can park at the Crumbles shopping center walk to the marina in 5 mins. follow that to the seafront and walk all the way in to town along the prom if your a walker.1.5 to 2 hours max .

New apartments and harbour. . lock system to get boats in and out. Lots of restaurants with views over the harbour. Plus the usual suspects at the shopping centre behind the harbour. Beautiful to sit and see but, needs time to gain character.

I am local to Eastbourne and have spent many of times down the harbour. Simply italian being my favourite restaurant and just gorgeous when the weather is nice to sit outside. In fact all the restaurants there are lovely. My children enjoy walking around the harbour and watching the boats do their thing.
Really lovely place

Nice walks, but rather untidy in places, water rather stagnant in corners, does any body collect any litter up from around here ?
The harvester avoid, grubby cheap food not is not so cheap!
The other resturants not that special, as seem to cater for in and out A S A P, I feel that they are not to concerned re the holiday makers, as new lot arrive every few week weeks!, and the local who do not want to drive for what ever reasons, say very little. No fine dining around for miles.

If you are looking for a quiet place that is the right choice. You can go there on foot, by bike, rolleblading.

The harbour is a wonderful place, whether for a lazy afternoon or a fun filled evening. I love going with friends, or for a bit of other half and I time, as a cosy couple.

This is a beautiful harbour, a lovely place to have a walk around looking at all the fabulous boats. There's also a good range of restaurants (to suit every pocket). We are staying in a property here and it's a lovely place to stay, very peaceful and relaxing. The weather is being very kind to us and we feel like we are abroad.

We regularly take our kids to Eastbourne harbour for an easy going & interesting walk around the Inner Harbour, then before returning via the lock we like to walk out to the Martello tower on the Outer Harbour, we have on a couple of occasions seen a family of seals there. Once returned its great to sit outside one of the many cafes on the Waterfront for a drink, ice cream or bag of chips to watch the world go by. Free Parking a bonus too.
