I went there during my gap year and it was amazing. My host family was very nice and my school in st giles planned a lot of activities. I really had an amazing time. Also everything is more or less within walking distance, and you're about one hour/hour and a half away from London by train.

It’s great, quite place but you still need to think about your personal safety cause for last few months it’s being more robbed cases than before . Specially at night time it’s a lot of people who is smoking weeds and you need to be aware of not putting yourself in dangerous

Just like any other town you have to have your wits about you.. Mainly at night, there are certain bars I would not go into and certain streets I would not walk after dark ..but during the day Eastbourne is nice and on the whole a safe place to live ..its a lovely place
