Eastbourne ranked the best seaside town in Sussex by Which?
Eastbourne has been rated the best seaside town in Sussex in a new nationwide survey.
In a survey conducted by consumer group Which?, the Sunshine Coast was ranked first of seven other Sussex seaside destinations.
More than 5,000 people were surveyed on almost 12,000 experiences of visiting UK seaside towns.
A total of 135 towns were judged on its average hotel price, beach, seafront/pier, food and drink, tourist attractions, scenery, shopping, peace and quiet, parking, and value for money.
The destinations were then given a score based on satisfaction with the location and likelihood to recommend, with Eastbourne scoring 65%.
Other East Sussex towns Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea both scored 63%, while Brighton was only fourth of the seven with 60%.
Elsewhere, Worthing was fifth of seven on 58% and Littlehampton followed behind with 51%.
