The pier had its fire since we last visited it in June 2014. You can still get to the end of the pier past the area near the entrance being restored. Hopefully the owners will take the opportunity to make the whole of the pier more attractive for tourists. It is still an attractionworth visiting even if you just walk to the end and back again.

Due to the fire which destroyed parts of the pier, it does look like a building site (which it is). The entrance is mainly untouched by the fire but from thereon there are blue hoardings both sides of the pier and you can walk either side of these to get further down the pier. Apparently there is talk of a dispute about the building works although there were a few workmen around and builders' cabins in a cordoned off areas on the beach near the pier.

We had to go and visit Eastbourne Pier, as a few days after we were here last time, it caught fire and partially burnt down, so we went to see how they're getting on repairing the pier, all seems to going well, although the fishing aint no better

The pier is undergoing reconstruction after a fire last year but still accessible for a stroll right to the end where the Waterfront Cafe bar offers a good 'pub grub' menu. We saw several elderly people tripping up over the raised level seating areas. Our food was quite acceptable at the price, service good, no complaints.

The pier is still being refurbished (Oct 2015) but is still worth a visit and a walk to the end, very bracing

Was having a refurbishment in August 2015 but still worth a visit with lovely views of Eastbourne. Lots of character still.

As with all piers this was a nice walk on a sunny day. All the usual attractions and the costs attached. A good experience for all lovers of English seaside piers.

I have only given it a 3 as it is currently being repaired due to the fire, which restricts access to the whole pier. What is open is very good.

One of the best of our national piers, well maintained with interesting Bijou shops, plenty of seating areas and refreshment units as well as a good "pub" with good value menu options. Sad to see the ruins of last years fire, completely destroying the arcade area, a similar bizarre event as happened to Hastings pier, further along the coast.
Both fires in the gaming sections ?
Tremendous views of the seafront from the far end fishing section.
If you are hungry, try the excellent fish and chips at the front lobby entrance.

Despite the great fire it is still an historic pier. There is a nice cafe situated mid pier, a fish and chip shop, a nightclub and bar, and lots of other things to do.
We like to walk from the Grand Hotel to the pier, around the pier, and back again. A great way to blow away the cobwebs.

Interesting to walk where the ballroom/Blue Room used to be before the fire. The other attractions seem to be doing well. It will be interesting to see what the pier looks like when all the work is complete.

So nice to walk along this pier, although very windy we did have a laugh, friendly shop owners, not pushy could browse with no pressure to make a purchase

Eastbourne Pier appears at first glance to be a bit of a mess as contractors are everywhere attempting to restore this pier after a devastating fire in 2013 I believe. Some shops and cafeteria bars have reopened and I feel sure that once the work to restore the pier is complete it will be fully restored back to its former grandeur, including its end of the pier theatre.

Not withstanding the scaffolding and building work it is still a grand old place to sit a while a way a few hours.

Nice to see such a clean and tidy pier. Will be even better when the repairs are finished. Lovely views.

The pier is worth a walk, if you have children, leave either them or your money at home, it's mainly slot machines and games

Restoration work is going well. Hope to visit when completed. Would have been nice to see what the plans are for the future.

On Saturday we visited Brighton and went along the Pier which was very impressive, on Sunday we visiTed the Eastbourne Pier which bears no resemblance, it is obviously being renervated but looks shabby and far from interesting, very disappointed.
