Sovereign Harbour Marina
Latest Reviews
The Harbour is known as the Pearl of Eastbourne, 'Seasons' is newly opened cafe/wine bar with a wine machine which measures a variety of quality wines according to what you require per glass & credits any balance of your deposit which can be used in conjuction with repeat visits!...very ingenious.
Not sampled food, but displays look well presented with anything from open sandwiches, savouries, dressed crab, terrines, & even cream teas.Good quality coffee.
Personal table service & personable staff. There is plenty of outdoor space to eat out during good weather.
Only small critism was no paper napkins supplied as Cuppacino supplied with gratis choc biscuits & no table numbers which could cause problems for serving staff, & open to the few less honest people 'doing a runner' ,as bill paid on request at the tables outside?
We wish Seasons every sucess as Harbour residents!

The Harbour on the edge of Eastbourne is well worth a visit. There are walks from there into Eastbourne along the seafront, or the opposite way to Pevensey Bay. In the harbour itself there are a few shops and restaurants that give plenty of choice and price. The parking is free, which is an added bonus. If you want retail outlets they are easily available from the Harbour which is in front of the Crumbles retail park. There are boat rides in the Harbour, but most people come to sit outside a cafe, have a meal and drink and dream they are somewhere exotic. When the sun is shining it's a lovely social place to be

A well-laid out harbour/marina with a variety of working and leisure boats to watch (and drool over?). Visit the locks and watch the comings and goings or just walk around the marina.There is a good choice of restaurants, I have only eaten at the Thai Marina restaurant and that is great..

Around 8000 people now reside in and around the Marina whcih was built about 20 years ago and is still expanding. Good variety of shops and restaurants on site with a major retail park just 5 minutes walk.

The Marina is a lovely place to go for a walk to see all the boats, watch them coming in and out of the locks and then go and have something to eat or just a drink at the many restaurants around the Marina!

For the very fit the walk from Eastbourne is pleasant along the sea front and all on the flat. There are harbour boat trips and many eating outlets within the marina for lunch but also nice for a leisurely evening meal as well.

Had a great day cycling around the marina and fortunate enough to hop aboard a friends yacht for some sea faring action.

Was suggested, by the concierge at our hotel, to go here on the Friday evening. We took a taxi and then wandered around looking at the different restaurants. We chose Pablo's and had a nice meal. Good choice on the menu. Very busy. Went for a drink afterwards and then had a taxi back to the hotel.

Great place to visit, ideal for those who like boats and all things nautical. Visit the locks or just walk around the marina. Good choice of restaurants.

The tourist office assured me there were lots of interesting little shops and places to eat... Wrong on both counts, unless you count Asda and Poundland as interesting. The food seemed limited to Italian, pricey tourist menu, with harassed and disinterested staff. It's nothing but a marina full of expensive boats and posh flats, with nothing to recommend me to go back as a holiday maker. It's also in the middle of nowhere, alongside a busy dual carriage way and you have to walk through shops that look like white warehouses. I believe one is already making staff redundant as a result of poor business. I'm not remotely surprised! Don't waste time going all the way out there; stay in town and along the esplanade where there are things to see and do and a choice of places to eat.

If you have a car the marina is definitely worth a visit (not so easy to get there by public transport). It has great restaurants (I particularly like the Thai one), bars and shops. When the weather's good you can spend a very happy day wondering around the shops, looking at the boats, eating in the restaurants and then sitting by the sea drinking tea or whatever is your favourite tipple.
I'm not sure that I would want to live there. It's too far from the town and probably not so interesting once you've done the shops and restaurants, but for a visit it's great. Particularly good for families as there is lots for the kids to look at and eat.

A wonderful place to either shop or just sit & chill. Excellent shops leading down to the waterfront. inc. Matalan, Next, Asda. A no.99 bus stops outside Asda every 20mins. Great views to see whilst enjoying a coffee or ice-cream.

A lovely place to sit and watch the world go by,whilst having nice food and drinks with loved ones.
Loved looking around the beatiful boats and letting your imagination run wild.
The boat trip around the whole marina was good fun and informative to. The trip on a racing speed boat was tempting but not as tempting as the fresh crab and prawns with a glass or two of wine. Cheers.

There are boats moored which are very picturesque. There is a small shopping parade with some unusual shops. One has china, glass and other ornaments which you would not be able to purcahse in the average high street shop. My favourite is a ladies dress shop which has medium priced goods of an excellent quality. They also sell jewellery. Nearby there a shopping centre with the usual shops, e.g. Matalan, Tescos. This is not to my taste and I prefer the small, individual shops.

A lovely place to go, wander around, or just sit down with a drink and watch the comings and goings. Tasteful development around the Marina which makes it very sheltered in cooler weather, and a sun trap when the sun decides to shine! :-)

De Leito's, Pablo's and SI are great value but busy cafes/restaurants. The Harvester is what you'd expect. The harbour is a lovely place to sit and cogitate on rare sunny days (or there's a range of shops in the nearby Crumbles estate). Nothing much for children but a pleasant way to spend a few hours, strolling over the locks and having a coffee/meal.

Lots of good eating places but not much atmosphere during the day.Probably better in the evening and certainly at the height of the season when all yhe boaters are in port.One or two little boutiques to walk around too.
