The North Harbour bus terminus at the end of Pacific Drive and the South Harbour terminus at the end of Atlantic Drive are about a ten-minute walk apart. A separate, hourly service serves each terminus.
A special bus lane linking the North and South Harbours has been promised for years, but there is currently no cross-harbour bus route.
There will be changes to all services in and around Eastbourne including the 5, 5B and 52 serving Sovereign Harbour and the 99E serving the Asda stops on Pevenseay Bay road in the evening. There is more info on the following webpage:
