About

Sovereign Harbour is a large marina development on Eastbourne's eastern edge, built into reclaimed land. The area is characterised by its extensive network of waterways, modern apartment buildings, and boat-filled basins. It functions primarily as a residential and leisure boating community, with a selection of restaurants and shops lining the inner harbour.

A notable aspect is its system of lock gates, which control water levels between the marina and the open sea. The outer harbour provides direct access to the English Channel, with a long breakwater offering views along the coast. The layout creates a distinct environment separate from the town's traditional seafront.
