Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
It is wonderful to see the Pier was rebuilt so quickly after the fire. There are places to eat and drink, plenty of seating, however, sadly it as not as good as it once was.
We stay at a Hotel near the Pier and in the last few years, I think since the rebuild, there are not any lights shining along the Pier once it gets dark as they do along the Promenade. This is a disappointment to us as we like to window watch. Maybe it is a cost thing, but it makes a huge difference.

Arrived just after lunch on a stunningly hot day. Parked in the shopping centre multi-storey which at £1 per hour was fairly reasonable (and shade for the car!) Lots of alfresco eateries to choose from on the short walk to the sea front where you are met with the stunning view of the pier. This knocks the spots off Hastings by a country mile.
The Victorian tea room is a must to visit and the Sussex tea is great value (scone with jam and clotted cream plus generous pot of tea for £3.95). The esplanade has well kept gardens (despite the drought) all the way to the Martello Tower via the Bandstand. The The Victorian hotels all along the front really give Eastbourne a feeling of grandeur - shall look forward to visiting again.

This is a lovely free pier it has seats and benches everywhere for you to sit.
It is in need of a clean and a tidy on the cosmetic side but don’t be put off it is still worth a walk to the end.
If you can grab s bag of chips from the chip shop at the front of the pier. Delicious and it may seem like not a lot but it is more in that bag than meets the eye. £2 a bag.

Very clean for a promenade and friendly people. Nice way to spend the day especially when the weather is good.

We like Eastbourne and found a good place to park our Motorhome to the East of Eastbourne. It’s a nice walk in along the front to the pier and shops. The car park is at the Angling car park and has no barrier. The car park next door has a barrier.

Lots of seating to just while away the time or contemplate what to do or where to go next. However it depends what you want as since the fire there is less to do, unless you like slot machines.

We wandered along at our pace so we could look at the great views across the way. Only a few shops on the pier which was nice.

Eastbourne is like Brighton before Brighton was ruined and this is personified by the pier. Not too crowded whilst having enough people to not feel abandoned, lovely shops, arcades and tea rooms with reaosnable prices. Clean, traidtional and a lovely family attraction.

enjoy a lovely stroll along the pier or sit a while and people watch either way is a pleasure, there is the usual arcades of course but also food and drink can be had, a really good visit

Nice and peaceful, serve draught beer at reasonable prices. Great sun trap (as you can imagine), with a turn of the century jazz bar theme.

Was quite late when we were walking around the pier. Some of the shops were shut. The domes on the pier were magnificent in the early evening sun. Didn't cost to go on later in the day. Not sure if it costs earlier.

The shops and tea room looked fantastic.
Called for 2 lagers in the pub/ night club, flipping heck £10.50.
Warm beer, and a staff member who seemed a little lost.

Eastbourne pier is well maintained loads of seating on it. There is a bar at the end so you can relax with a drink and enjoy the views. There is also a tea room on there with nice table and views. There is a selection of arcades on the pier nothing special but a bit of fun. Other wise there a few gift shops also. Well worth a visit if in Eastbourne

Lovely Victorian Pier, with free admission, which since the fire has been restored by a private owner.
The gold painted domes make it look outstanding and attractive.
Features include fruit machine arcades, fish and chips restaurant, gift shops a Pub, also a Victorian Tea room.
Plenty of seating areas with smoking and non smoking areas.
I believe the new owner is planning to build more features as well, or so I have heard on the local news.

Usual pier entertainments. Clean and free to go on. Tea room and night club,small amusements. Nearest toilets on promenade (maybe some in tea room?) and undercoat 20p each, so be warned. Roadside parking if you can find a space.

I am in Eastbourne over night and decided to take a stroll along the pier.
It is a good example of the Victorian age and you can imagine that it is much the same today as it was back in its heyday.
It is not the longest pier in the world, a walk around takes about 10 minutes but it is well maintained with picnic tables on entry and a handful of cafes, bars, souvenir shops and a traditional arcade.
I liked the piped music, very chilled, on a warm evening it felt like I was elsewhere.
Worth a browse around but dont plan your day on it!!!!

Walked down to the end of the pier a couple of times, stopped at the end for a beer, sat outside at the tables. Free admission with a chip shop, cafe doing afternoon tea, sweets and ice creams, a couple of arcades and the bar and nightclub at the end. Worth a visit!

Visited the pier and had a lovely walk to the end. Nice beer in the jazz lounge trip down memory lane.

They need to do more with the pier - tke a look at Southwold for inspiration. It's OK but very standard and not, in my view, the best.

I know that the locals do not like it but I love the restoration of Eastbourne Pier which looks rather splendid against the backdrop of an azure sky and sea. Fabulous!
