The gulls wheel over Eastbourne's chalk cliffs, and the salt air drifts right into this quiet corner where a proper guesthouse meets the spirit of coastal camping.

Coast suits couples after a seaside escape without the full tent-and-pegs commitment, or small families wanting a camping pod with a proper bed at the end of a beach day. The guesthouse rooms give you that B&B comfort when the weather turns, while the pods keep you closer to the outdoors. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so it's worth asking if you've got a spaniel keen on the South Downs or the shingle beaches that stretch east toward Pevensey.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to check what's onsite when you book. Campfires may be allowed — ask when you arrive. It's open all year, which means spring bluebell walks and winter storm-watching are both on the table. The vibe leans peaceful rather than bustling, ideal if you want the coast without the crowds.

South Downs Way (Inland Route)

Bounding Up to Belle Tout at Birling Gap, South Downs East

National Trust logoNational Trust

Climbs steeply from Birling Gap's shingle beach up chalk cliffs to Belle Tout lighthouse, rewarding you with sweeping Channel views and the iconic Seven Sisters backdrop. The ascent's challenging with uneven steps and exposed cliff edges—not suitable for buggies or young children who can't handle steep gradients confidently. Dogs welcome but keep them close to cliff paths. Worth it for dramatic coastal scenery and the historic lighthouse, though prepare for a proper workout on the return.
