East Sussex Coast

Dreaming of a coastal holiday in the UK? Look no further than the East Sussex Coast, a top destination for seaside getaways. From bustling beaches to breathtaking nature reserves, East Sussex provides a spectacular array of coastline that showcases a world of variety. Walk the vast expanses of chalk-white cliffs, paddle in the glistening seawater, or explore local marine life in secluded rock pools. If you’re away with family, spend your days exploring charming seaside towns, visiting local aquariums, or simply unwind with a good book while the kids play in the sand. Whatever floats your boat, it’s there to discover in East Sussex.

Furthermore, the East Sussex coast is dotted with vibrant towns and cities, offering a perfect mix of culture, history, and seaside charm. Brighton, with its iconic pier and lively arts scene, is a must-visit city. In contrast, Eastbourne offers a more traditional seaside experience, with its Victorian pier and beautiful promenade. The historic town of Hastings however, is famous for its rich history and quaint Old Town. Ultimately, each town offers a unique experience, making it an ideal destination for your next coastal getaway.

Inspire Stays’ hand-picked selection of self-catered accommodation along the East Sussex coast offers an ideal selection for anyone looking for a seaside break. Watch the sky meet sea from a modern beach house, or snuggle up to watch the crashing waves on a stormy evening.
