I had Thursday and Friday on leave, so we went from London's Soho on Thursday down to Brighton on Saturday, with an overnight stay in Eastbourne. We didn't play pinball as in the Pinball Wizard song however!
The weather on Friday was delightful, I actually got burned on my head - for some silly reason I didn't wear a hat that day - I think it was because there was some wind that cooled me down. Pictures below show how nice the beach at Eastbourne is.
Brighton was cooler but we had the best of the weather, getting there reasonably early and doing what we wanted to get done. It was the weekend of the Gay Pride festival, so the train station was continually pouring people out of it - I've never seen so many people in Brighton. The kids wanted rainbow flags, so we bought them one each to wave.

Eastbourne beach is really nice! Everything looks very clean and tranquil. Different from the beaches here in Southern California :-)
Beautiful beach shots! Our beach would be packed, that one looks like you could relax and have fun without too much of a crowd!
L.B.: Yes, Eastbourne has a bit of a reputation for being less trendy and a place for elderly people but actually its clean, quiet and the beaches are very nice. Perfect for families.
Tara: The beach certainly wasn't packed at Eastbourne but its a pebbly beach, it may not show up so much in the photos. There is sand too but you have to look for it.
