Eastbourne
The relaxed elegance of Eastbourne offers a splendid seafront with Victorian hotels, and a 1930s bandstand. The Towner Art Gallery exhibits modern British works. Nearby, Redoubt Fortress, built during the Napoleonic Wars, has a military museum. Southwest along the coast, in South Downs National Park, are the tall chalk cliffs of Beachy Head and its striped 1902 lighthouse.
