Meads occupies the westernmost stretch of Eastbourne's coastline, rising from sea level up the steep slopes of the South Downs. The area is primarily residential, characterised by detached houses and tree-lined avenues. Its lower section runs along the seafront, featuring a mix of Edwardian architecture and modern apartment buildings.

A notable local landmark is the Wish Tower, a well-preserved Martello tower that forms part of the seafront promenade. The ward includes the lower slopes of the Downs, providing direct access to open countryside and walking paths. Holywell and the surrounding parkland offer a recreational space within this largely settled part of town.
