My son and I had a great time on the pier. We shopped and went into the amusements. Lovely time had by all.

Nice pier with free admission and plenty of places to play the amusement machines and buy tourist stuff. Had tea at the Tea Room which was nice but my goodness they sell their cakes in very thin slices for 3 pounds a portion. Service was nice and the staff in the tea room smiled!

Nice little pier, with amusements which children will enjoy with lots of gifts that could be won. There is also a lovely tea house, which is well worth a visit.

I feel the pier has been saved and improved since the fire and the new owner taking over the gold just shows off its best features in a new light it’s a lovely space to think and relax and grab a coffee or fish and chips

Well worth a gentle stroll down the pier and back again. While there are a great many game machines there are also other places to stop at even if it only for a cup of tea. Unfortunately you are not allowed to fish from the end of the pier so you cannot stop and watch the locals fishing. Also the very end seems to be cordoned off as it is very rusty and maybe dangerous. If watching the airshow then this is a good location and makes a change from sitting on the stony beach. What I do love is the plentiful number of benches and tables to sit on if you have brought food with you.

Its like going back in time. Old fashioned sweet shop and loved the many penny arcades. you can entertain the little children and big kids like me without spending an arm and a leg.
There is vast areas which could have other uses, there is a nice tearoom which looks inviting.
The views are stunningly good too!!

This is an improvement on what was here but it stll lacks things to do and see. Plenty of slot machines but very little else.
I thought the Blue Room had to be put back on there as it was listed? Any info on this at all please?

The pier no longer has the magic it did before the fire but so pleased it has been saved. Sad not to see the fishermen anymore. However lovely place to sit and see the sea. To many slot machines.

liked the gift shop and pub, that was about it... the machines (cuddly toys-2p machines) most of them did not work.

the pier provides endless activity for kids. the pier had selection of activity and during low tide... kids could go rock pooling and my kids had found crabs, mussels and small fish which they let go after... they also enjoyed eating fish and chips at the famous Harry Ramsden..clean area to sit and watch the tide go by... will come back again

A relaxing stroll along the pier on a sunny summer afternoon- perfect! The sound of waves gently breaking on the shore, gulls circling overhead, excited children squeals of delight - all contributing to a lovely, laid- back atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing views and the activities on the pier are great. We had a lovely walk along the pier this evening.

An easy walk from the front and good views of Eastbourne, clean, friendly staff. Well taken care of.

Memories from childhood of great visits to Eastbourne Pier. Now older and no wiser I can honestly say it’s just as good. Unfortunately after the fire, this pier lost one of it’s main buildings. After repairs the main building is still missing but the area contains a pleasant seating area for families. Unfortunately Dogs are not allowed. Refreshments and views aplenty, if in Eastbourne it’s a must.

As a pier is suppose to be a good central pull for a seaside resort we were a little dissappointed.
It was pretty miserable weather when we went so maybe that impacted the experience. The arcades were a bit grubby, now I know that most arcades are but these had quite a few out of order machines and generally quite dirty. The shops seemed quite nice but there were very few and that was pretty much it, nothing else to see or do. I'm not sure what we were expecting to be honest, maybe some interesting info scattered about? Or some models or sculptures of some sort?
The tea rooms looked nice though, although we didn't go in it was very busy so assumed it was decent.

We visited with some relatives. It is a traditional pier that provided some good views of the sea and back to the town. Not a great deal of facilities and atmosphere though

Enjoyed our stroll along this pier, great views too. It has more going on than some piers have these day, restaurants, Jazz Bar with great Jazz! Shops etc. Well worth a look.

clean and not too much on the pier, afternoon teas looked lovely and we enjoyed the 2p machines, makes it fun to play, even if you lose, as we did :)

Visited the pier which is okay although not much on it. We went in the small arcade at the entrance and sunk fifty 2p's into the game machine. Not a single tuppence came out. Are they stuck in?

They all love to have a go at the lovely man who has rejuvenated the pier, but, without him, it would still be a burnt out pier. Lovely picnic tables, nicely redone. Well done Mr. Gold Man.

it’s a thing of beauty from by gone days and I’m pleased it’s being maintained however, it has a bit of a clinical atmosphere I thought and the gift shops a little tacky BUT go and walk round as the view across the sea and along the coast is pretty.

A must go place, the Victorian tea rooms, wonderful service and reasonably priced. A pot of cream tea and jam and cream scones. All for £3.95. The fish and chips are heavenly and the ice cream is to die for.

*** Visited this Seaside attraction while on our annual visit to the town . Now adorned with ornate gold fittings courtesy of the Piers owner and saviour. All the usual seaside souveniers are on offer in the little shops on the Pier plus ample seating areas for those tired legs …….. Marvellous attraction & well worth a visit ! ***
