Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
The only place in Eastbourne we could find that did warm doughnuts! Although watch out for the seagulls as they are very brazen and swoop down for the doughnuts as soon as they see it in your hand so make sure you are discrete when eating them or be somewhere undercover as they won’t come to where it is sheltered.
There isn’t much to do at the pier. The arcade was ok, but smelt funny and had an old dingy feeling to it

This Pier like the Brighton one but a little smaller is very nice for a visit. It has food , activities and games. Should be visited if you are in Eastbourne !

A lot of money has been invested in this pier, I can understand the gold theme not being to everyones taste though! The Victorian Tea rooms are really nice and its goof the the shops are still on the pier (sadly no souvenirs with the pier on except magnets). I do like the glass blowers shop. The bar has been done up & it much improved. I do believe that the chip shop chips are frozen though which was very dissapointing.

Lovely pier ideal for a stroll or stop for s drink or snack, not to loud or brash like some other piers.

A stroll down the pier in the sunshine is an essential part of a visit to Eastbourne! It is an iconic landmark. There is a glass shop, souvenir shop and penny falls.

We walked along the pier and had a beer in the bar on there. The prices were reasonable and the staff were very friendly. It was very relaxing and the views were nice.

The Eastbourne pier has a rustic feel to it, but it could use some more to do. It’s nice to visit and take pictures but that’s about it.

Eastbourne Pier is having some money spent on it and after over a century of providing free fun for promenaders it is still a lovely place to spend time.
A lot of our seaside piers are dilapidated but Eastbourne is not at all bad, there are the usual ice creams and nick nack stalls and a rather nice cafe half way along.
There are delightful views from any point and we loved watching the jellyfish swim underneath us, it’s a British tradition to promenade along the pier, let’s keep doing it!

Nice for a walk along and sit . Amusements as you would expect and arcade of slot machines etc. Couple of shops selling seaside things. Cafes etc. free to go on, whats not to like about a lovely british pier.

We are so lucky to have some piers on our British seafronts! This is a lovely pier and worth a stroll on....the seafront near the pier is wonderful clean pretty with flowers and at this time of year we have all the traders with their gazebos selling fabulous items from garden furniture, clothing to slush puppies!!

The pier is OK, nice views of Eastbourne and the usual pier amusements, tea shop etc. Definitely a shame that the camera obscura is no longer open.

Visited with my mum and dad ; clean spacious tidy and a lovely reminder of old fashioned holidays - quite a few arcades - we had a go on the 2p machines which is always good fun - the fish and chip shop at the entrance to the pier was popular and the food looked tasty but beware the seagulls!!! There a few gift shops and lovely afternoon tea room complete with chandeliers again all reasonably priced, also a shops selling had made glass ornaments that you could see being made by hand there and then . The very end part of the pier was closed due to renovation work but the whole pier was well maintained and gave lovely views back to shore - quite different and considerably less commercial than Brighton pier which is lots more busy tacky and with big fun fair rides at the end

This is one of the highlights of staying Eastbourne - the pier and ocean view. At the pier, take the tourist bus (only a few pounds) to Beachy Head to see the chalk cliffs which are a geological wonder,

Plenty of kids entertainment and a good cafe offering afternoon teas. Lots of seating and within easy walking from Town centre

I tend to judge a pier on how far it makes you feel from the town it emerges from, but when i went, the end of the pier was closed. But i'm sure it would have been ace if the far end wasn't closed, as it is quite a long pier
That said, the views from the pier were really pretty, and the pier seemed fairly lively. A focal point for locals and tourists alike. It has it's own unique vibe, with the white towers topped with gold. The arcades were making lots of noise, and people of all ages were enjoying the scenery and the atmosphere
Definitely worth a wander if you are in town! :)

If you are at the seaside you obviously have to have a walk along the pier, so, if you are in the area then give it a visit. It does not cost to go on this pier (unlike some others) however, having said that, this is not a long pier and not too much to see or do. It provides the obligatory amusement arcades, gift shop and tea room and the view over the sea and back to the shore.

Good old fashioned British seaside pier, nice Victorian tea room, souvenir shops and penny arcades. Clean and tidy. Well preserved

If you have a fine weather day then I can recommend walking to the end of the pier to get the views back of the Eastbourne sea front and this is best done in the late afternoon or early evening when the sun is setting when the lighting and shadows will put Eastbourne in its best light.
But don’t bother traversing the pier for fun and entertainment, there’s not really a lot of that going on post the fire.

Every pier we visit is measured against our favourite - Cromer, North Norfolk. Eastbourne is in that traditional style but with some little parades of shops as you go along, an amusement arcade and places to eat and drink. It was a shame we couldn't go around the end - I assume this is repair work, and there were some sections that had ugly looking concrete/pebbledashed flooring, but it was nice and had good views along the seafront. Plus it is free to access.

It has been about 25 years since my last visit. There are lots of open seating areas, kiosks, cafes and bars.

The Pier is old and tired and under some repair at the sea end. I didn't find anything of interest on it.

The pier is clean and does provide nice views back to land but it’s a little dead in comparison to say Brighton Pier. It’s worth a walk around and kids will love the amusement arcade at the end but an hour is probably enough to get a trip around it

It is a long pier some amusements not very good but the cafe near the end is fantastic, very very good service not expensive and some cakes to die for.
