Beachy Head is an iconic landmark close to Eastbourne. At 162m (531ft) it looms above the sea, its high chalky peak easily recognisable. Its name comes from the French 'beau chef', meaning beautiful headland.

Beachy Head is breathtakingly beautiful. The tour over the cliffs and the view of the lighthouse are really worth it.
However, you have to share the view with many others as the area has become very touristy.
There is a café for breaks and there is also an information center with a shop.
