Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
I visited Eastbourne Pier many years ago and felt it was a shame that it was quite shabby and run down compared to Brighton Pier. Having visited again recently I was pleasantly surprised by the massive improvements that have been made. There is a beautiful tea-room with HUGE Victorian chandeliers, prefect for afternoon tea. There are a few gift shops and amusements for the children and lots of picnic benches for the summer. The owner of the pier, Sheikh Gulzar has recently opened a bar/nightclub on the pier, and the decor is very cool and relaxed. There is also a large function room for weddings/parties at the end of the pier, which has stunning panoramic views over the sea, and a beautiful champagne bar.
It is so lovely to see the massive improvements and investment that has been put into the pier, I am very much looking forward to a return visit!

Pier is well maintained at no charge. We had great therapeutic walk to the end of pier and back. Sun Sparkling on the water.
You can sit and have coffee in the tea rooms. Obviously shore views and sound ,smell of the sea is a therapy the Victorian's experience, you can chill for hours in your thoughts.
Gifty shops were pretty. We bought souvenir Eastbourne rock.
It's a must for a weekend visit.

Lovely pier, very traditionnal, and nice atmosphere. It was very calm because I was there in February but I did love it. Nice view on the sea, and have a tea brake on the pier.
Don't forget to stop and see moktar and ask for your future.

Stayed in Eastbourne very near to the Pier.
Weather was good so thought we would have a look.
Bit disappointed but might have been because of the time of year as most things were closed. Did pop into the Tea Room and that was very good.

Delightful, well painted and really charming. I didn't have one, but I heard the cream ties on the pier are amazing!

We strolled along the pier with the baby in the pram.
There is a very interesting looking Victorian tea room, which we did not have time to enjoy.
The very small selection of arcade games were good fun for a few minutes.
We then stopped in the bar on the end for a quick drink, but there was very limited choice.

On a wet and windy day we promenaded along this Victorian piece of history. A lot of thought had gone into its rejuvenation with plaques of facts on its history as you stroll along. Along the Pier are two places to relax and eat. The Victorian tearoom is magnificent with its well set tables but this is dwarfed by the light shade in the centre of the room. Just amazing. At the end of the Pier is another establishment to eat which is of the 1950s theme. Two completely different places within minutes of each other. A lot of history in the wooden boards underfoot, half derelict planks where boats would have moored and the view of the magnificent houses along the seafront. A must to while away a couple of hours.

Free entrance to walk along the pier. Nice tea room, reasonably priced tea and coffee. Arcades. Plenty or seating.

Nice place to visit. Sadly half of the pier suffered a fire back in 2014.

The pier does not have a lot you can do, but we found a gem of a place at the end of the pier: it's a jazz club but was open late afternoon when we arrived and we found it served good coffee. Great retro ambiance too. What a find !

A nice pier. Peaceful to sit at the end and look out over the sea. Was nice that the arcades and shops where not in your face.

We visited the pier for the first time since the fire and it looks great. I like the golden dome etc and all the usual shops, arcades etc are to be found here.

We stayed at the Queens Hotel opposite to the Pier and this was our first visit to Eastbourne. The Pier is kept so neat and tidy with plenty of seating available for all and a good selection of shops/restaurant's. The fish and chips smelt devine but we headed off for afternoon tea (see review).
Plenty to occupy all available on the Pier and night club also on site for the younger ones.

I think for someone born and bred in the U.K. a pier isn't anything special for most at least, it needs something to bring it alive. Not for people that haven't grown up with piers or in the U.K. (myself included) than this pier would be a lovely walk. It offers many great opportunities for pictures. It's nice that the pier is well cared for, everything has a new coat of paint and all the floorboards are in good condition. I personally liked how they left the lamps near where the fire occurred and they are melted from the heat, not sure if this was intentional. The Victorian tea room has lovely food and a great atmosphere. I think this pier has great potential and you could make it a go to spot with some planning. I'm sure building restrictions play a role in this but hopefully one day this pier will be redeveloped and be bustling once again. Worth a walk especially if you've not experienced a pier before.

Pier has had a spruce up and look good. Not much to see but a nice free walk. Could do with more attractions. Drinks expensive.

We walked on the pier at night during our weekend visit and a walk again during the next day to get some pictures. Access to the pier is free and the pier gives you a great view of the shore and establishments along the sea front of Eastbourne. Recommend the Victorian tea rooms on the pier

I stayed in a hotel near the pier and I haven't been on the pier for many years went to all the amusements and wanted my partner to win me a teddy but none of the machines were working pretty much a con 👎 but I do still love the pier as you can't beat it just wish the facilities were working to a better standard.

Old fashioned seaside pier. Charming in its own way.
Amusing to see a Zoltan machine - from the film Big, remember?

Been on this pier most of my life and seen many changes. Was once one of my favourite attractions and still is, but from a tragic fire a few years ago has lost half of what it was. Has a night club, bar, shops, glass maker, fish and chips, and a tea room. Where the fire was, is now just a big open space with picnic tables. Now owned by Sheiks who has hotels in Eastbourne seafront and loves his gold paint which he has painted parts of the pier with. ! . I still walk up and down this pier and is still an attraction and worth a visit. I await if the new owner will add to this pier in the future.
