The crunch of shingle underfoot and the long pull of the tide — that's your morning soundtrack at Sea Beach House, right on Eastbourne's seafront where the South Downs meet the Channel.
This one's a bit different: a guesthouse with camping pods out front, so you can choose between proper beds and coastal camping depending on your mood. Couples after a seaside break will love it, as will anyone walking the South Downs Way who fancies ending their trek with sea views and a comfortable base. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're bringing one along. It's open all year, which makes it a solid choice for winter coast walkers or off-season seafarers.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to check what's included with your pitch or room when you reserve. Campfires may be allowed — ask on arrival. The vibe here is coastal and straightforward, with that particular Eastbourne mix of Victorian elegance and working seaside town — more deckchairs and fish suppers than boutique glamping, which suits some people perfectly.
