A much smaller pier than say Brighton, but it's still nice. Lovely bit of history to visit, a few shops, a cafe and some arcades made it a lovely little stroll.

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Eastbourne Pier when we stayed in Eastbourne after visiting Beachy Head. The Pier is really impressive (as is the restoration work being done on the flooring and benches etc.) It took us back to childhood days of visiting seaside resorts especially those with piers and of losing lots of money in the amusement arcades. We had fun recreating those memories by playing on the 2p machines and one arm bandits.
What a great experience. There aren't many Piers left at UK seaside resorts so this one is a must to visit if you are in the area.

A good job done by the owner to get this icon up and running again. Other than the slot machine arcades (3), a tea room, nightclub/theatre & two other outlets, there's not much there but I gather the owner is trying to get more shops/outlets to open up there. Give it time !

There is no better place in Eastbourne to get a taste of the town life and sample what it has to offer. Lots to see and do on the pier itself from hand made glass gifts, arcade, night club, bar and assorted gifts to remember your visit with. The nearby promenade has a truly spectacular flower display, and plenty of seating throughout to enjoy the views and some fish and chips.

We visited in April this year and although we could see work was being done, it was still a bit 'tatty' in places and was not fully accessible. Now, there are lots of new picnic tables, fresh paintwork and you can now walk right to the end. Hopefully by the time we next visit the Camera Obscura will also be open.

The pier is kept lovely and clean and there are shops and eating places too. We didn't eat in any of the restaurants but lots of people were eating there and the premises looked lovely. A great place to sit and watch the world go by!!

When the sun is out this is the place to be sitting looking out over the sea enjoying a glass of wine or beer, chating to friends.

Whilst visiting Eastbourne my partners daughter suggested we walk along the pier. Having walked the length of the pier there was not that much to do unless you want to play on slot machines or eat. The Victorian tea room looked very nice from outside but we were heading off elsewhere for lunch so didn't partake.

All though the pier is outstanding we did not feel very welcome when visiting the Victoria Tea Rooms. The tea room itself was lovely with its outstanding chandeliers & good food. Our only complaint was the unfriendlyness of the waiting staff. A friendly smile goes a long way. Even the girl on the till took our money with an unfriendly frown.

Great for a stroll and take in the views but why oh why do they charge so much once their Tea almost £2 for a cup chips almost £2 for a few and they end in the bin, great attraction shame about the money grabbers.

It was a very windy day and it was a lovely bracing walk along the pier. The tea room is the only one I have ever seen with chandeliers and nice selection of squidgy cakes. They were still restoring the pier and there was one or two worrying holes in the walkway so perhaps there is still room for improvement.

As per title. Nothing amazing. Great sea breeze and views.

It seems like you can still enter pier even in the evening no gates stopping you from entering

Not as good as it was ......yet but certainly getting there.
I absolutely love the gold trims and think it adds a certain something to the place. The tea rooms are fantastic but maybe a bit too pricey but your paying for the vintage experience.
I'm not quite sure how they enforce the 'only food and drinks purchased on the pier can be consumed here' and it seems a strange rule but I supposed the gold merc driving owner must keep the funds rolling in some how.
The place is in desperate need for some more lights though as when it gets dark it hasn't got the feeling of a pier in a holiday town.
Kids messing about in the evening is pretty intimidating but we had no problem with them or the alcohol drinkers congregating under the pier itself.
Over all it needs a lot more work but I don't doubt it'll be well on track by next summer. A good place to visit whilst in this beautiful seaside town. Just make sure you bring plenty of spends!!!

Uno de los rincones más agradables de Eastbourne, muy bien equipado con bancos, mesas sombrillas y negocios donde tomarte un café, una pinta o un aperitivo

We visited the Pier a couple of time during our stay, we could see a lot of work had been done and was being carried out. It was nicely done and clean and tidy with some nice touches. Look forward to returning in the future to see the finished thing

OK, so who remembers Yogi Bear? The pier has changed a bit since our last visit. There are picnic tables on the vast refurbished deck area as you go onto the pier. There are some subtle amusement machines in a little building. Plus a bar and club. There is a gift shop and a Victorian tea-room. At the end of the pier, there were always people fishing from a low platform that is barely above the sea when the tide is high. I read somewhere that he new owner has put an end to this (I suspect on safety grounds) Guess what. On the low fishing deck, instead of fishermen (and women) there were Yogi Bear picnic tables. I suspect that someone got hold of a job lot. It's good that the new owner is renovating this Victorian icon but the golden age has long gone. Let's see what happens in the future. Best wishes to the project. Oh yes, if you want to bring a picnic, there is ample seating.
