Eastbourne Summer Pool
Marine ParadeAnother swimming option in the Summer months
Great for kids, there is a duck pond and duck food can be bought from the ice cream parlour. There is a fairy door bush walk at the back of the Pavillion. Head up the track behind the Mens Shed in the car park, and take the first left once you are on the bush walk. Look out for fairy doors especially at the top of the hill.
