What beach activities should we do in Eastbourne?
The best beach activities in Eastbourne centre around its iconic pier, the promenade, and the pebble beach itself.

Eastbourne Pier is a classic Victorian structure that stretches out into the sea. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll along its length, take in the views, or visit the arcade. The area around the pier is great for families, with ice cream kiosks and traditional seaside entertainment.

The wide, flat promenade runs for miles along the coastline, great for a gentle walk or a cycle. You'll find plenty of benches to sit and watch the waves, and it's easily accessible for everyone. Families with children will appreciate the ease of pushing prams or letting younger ones cycle safely away from traffic.

Of course, the pebble beach is the main attraction. While not sandy, it's ideal for beachcombing, hunting for interesting stones, or simply relaxing with a book. During warmer months, you'll see people swimming and paddleboarding. For those who enjoy a bit of activity, there are designated areas for games, and the water is generally calm enough for a pleasant dip.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Eastbourne as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Eastbourne for you.
