A panoramic view of Eastbourne, a large seaside town in East Sussex, England, as seen from the west on Beachy Head. Eastbourne's earliest claim as a seaside resort was a summer holiday visit by four of King George III's children in 1780. Although Eastbourne has industrial trading estates, it derives its main income from tourism, the focus of which is the four miles (6 km) of shingle beach, lined with hotels and guest houses.Photo: David Iliff
