 Eastbourne : Profile
Situated to the east of Beachy Head, Eastbourne sits on the Sussex coast where the White Cliffs have given way to the lower, sandier coastline.
The only shelter here, like Brighton, is in the marina, but unlike Brighton, it is cut back into the land.
The entrance can be unsafe in strong SE/NE winds and if in doubt call the Harbour Master before entry. In winds about F5 it is best to time arrival within an hour and a half of high water. The entrance is dredged, but if your draft is over 2 metres and it is close to low water, it is advisable to call to check the depth.
