Not much to do on the pier. It caters for the elderly, which I guess should be expected in Eastbound. Frank Sinatra blaring out over the loudspeakers, godawful 'Victorian Tea Rooms' with atrocious decor and horrific crockery. A few 2p arcade attractions for the kids. Nice views of the shoreline.

Loved our day here. We had an excellent afternoon tea in the Victorian Tea Room, (excellent value at £9.00 for sandwiches, scones jam and cream, cake and pots of tea), then a spectacular gossip, sitting in the middle of the pier, gazing at the twinkling sun dancing on the English Channel. Everyone was obviously enjoying themselves and the fresh air was great. There’s ample seating on this pier and a broad walkway. Delighted the pier has re-opened.

Plenty of seating from which to take in the views. But lacks the buzz of an old-fashioned pier. Even the small arcades were uninspiring. Plenty of potential, though.

A must see and the shops are quaint and gives you the seaside feeling of being on holiday. Great for an ice cream or fish and chips.

Superb clean beach, which is cleaned every morning by the council cleaners who were always very polite & helpful to the members of the public. The sea was very clean so much so you could see the bottom. The beach itself is large pebbles which can be painful to your feet if you are not wearing correct footwear, flip flops, trainers, shoes, try to not walk on these pebbles barefoot. While I visited Eastbourne I often sat of the beach, which was very clean, well presented to all visitors. I would definitely recommend this beach for families and the older generation like myself where you can sit on deckchairs that are provided the other side of the Pier towards Beachy Head. I would only recommend that the Deck Chair Sellers be the whole length of the seafront.

This beach stretches on so there’s plenty of space and no overcrowding. Only downside is that it’s a pebbled beach which makes walking to the water quite a painful experience without crocs. During low tide you can actually see the sand on the shore which is quite enjoyable to stand on. Must visit though. The beach and the waves are fab

A very pleasant pier, plenty of all round seating. The Tearoom was exceptional, with spectacular chandeliers. A focal point for pictures. We spent a fair amount of time on here admiring the views around. Well worth a visit.

This is pretty much a typical seaside pier but it's got that look that it's original architecture has been kept, there’s a chip shop at the shoreline end, a grand looking tea room part way along and then a bar etc. at the far end along with a smattering of souvenir shops.
Architecture lends itself to a few pictures.
Worth a look to stretch your legs and take in the views.

Having had some rather painful physio yesterday, I was moaning to my friend about what I 'could' do on such a lovely day. She immediately told me to put on my shoes...and I was whisked off to Eastbourne Pier for one of the most lovely and traditional cream teas! The pier is quaint and the whole area screams 'Victoria'! Unlike other seaside towns, the afternoon was unhurried, not particularly busu (despite eing school holidays) and the whole afternoon spent on and around the pier was a real joy. The tea we had seemed very fresh and cheaper than Brighton, and delicious. As a spontaneous afternoon out, it was a real treat!.

On the pier is a stunning Victorian tea room, fabulous service and the best cream tea we have had for ages,and at £3.95 each a bargain

i wanted to take home some shells and pebbles just that they tend to weigh down your luggage so be prepared for a heavy load.

Free entry and plenty to see and do. A good selection of seaside rock and, of course, traditional fish and chips. Well worth a visit

I did not like the cafe on the pier as i thought that the lights in the cafe are to low and people can hit there heads on them

You either love piers or hate them but whatever your thoughts Eastbourne Pier is well looked after and worth a visit. It is one of the shorter ones so ideal for all levels of fitness!

This pier is well maintained and rather smart. There are a few shops and tea rooms as well as a fish & chips restaurant. Well worth a stroll!

My friend and walked along here to look at the view and take some lovely pictures. I have found memories of walking down the pier with my grandad. It's a shame we can't walk all the way to the end but even so it's still lovely.

If you come to Eastbourne you must walk along the pier. There is an excellent information board giving the history of the pier just East of the entrance. The pier has been renovated in the last few years and there are some nice shops and a lovely looking Victorian tearoom plus the usual amusement arcades.

We used to enjoy walking around the pier and maybe having a drink looking out to sea. However since being taken over by the Sheikh we have to endure loud music fro beginning to end - you can't escape from it. Why do you have to play music on a pier???

All the usual seaside stuff to be found. Watch out for seagulls and don't try eating your own food or you will be warned off. Free at the moment.

We have visited before - both before and after the terrible fire and always enjoy the long walk to the far end which gives the opportunity for lovely views.

Entry is free (some piers now charge admission) and there are a few outlets and food vendors but it is not over commercialised and does not get as crowded as Brighton Pier.

We enjoyed good weather on our visit, but have in the past walked it in the rain and wind and still enjoyed ourselves !

Just a usual pier with a nice view. Nothing I have never seen before in England. However the tea house in the pier looks interesting to go for the next visit.
