The pier is being refurbished at the moment. Lovely old worldy tea room. Waitress/waiter service. Friendly staff.

A must go place whilst visiting Eastbourne, amazing view from the Pier where you can sit to enjoy an ice cream or a nice cup of tea. It's a lovely walk from de Pier and then alongside the beach, I visited on a Saturday and the atmosphere was great during day or night time

The reconstruction after the fire of 2014 had progressed well and it was excellent to be able to walk a group around most of the main deck early one evening in fine weather.
Rather overly zealous security personnel at the southern end of the pier at some sort of club where a private function seemed to be under way ... reacted with huge suspicion at a group walking on the pier and looking out to sea ... which I would have thought is what most folk walk onto the Pier to do. Oh well, it kept them busy and feeling necessary.

A great bit of history to see. We have visited the arcade on rainy days, walked alkng on sunny days and enjoyed some drinks and lunch at the bar at the end. We have eaten from the fish and chip shop at the front which is a little expensive but very good quality. Overall there are great views and something for everyone.

Yes I know it has seen better days, yes it is being renovated, but just to able to walk down something like this is a wonder in our day and age, just do it if nothing else to say you have done it, enjoy.
Did a walk on this both at night and during the day a different atmosphere at different times of the day worth it.
The views are great

We went to the pier at evening time when water was on low tides. It was cold breeze and lovely weather. View was brilliant and pleasant.

The best time to take a walk is on a very clear day or at night when it is light up. Although it is being restored loved taking a stroll around it and admiring the views. My boyfriend even went fishing of the end if it. I have Been to the fishing shop at the end. Very reasonable priced and a lovely gentleman who served us. I enjoyed a cream tea on the pier and brought my gran a tea towel from the gift shop. Recommend a walk

Having recently stayed in Eastbourne for the 4th time in 2 years how sad to see this wonderful structure after the disaster that befell it. Hoping it will once again return to it's former glory.

Since the tragedies of last year, including the death of a worker, may he rest in peace the pier has gone from strength to strength. Though the Blue Room has gone, the pier now has a large open area that can be used for many different activities.

This very old pier is getting an upgrade at present. Most people will know that the arcade that was near the front end/middle of this fine pier was burnt down in recent years and is now being restored. The remainder of the pier stands the same and is still a very good main attraction. Well worth a visit

We had a lovely cream tea in the pier Victorian tea room. There was a large group of people sharing a celebration the cake stands of lots of lovely looking savory and sweet treats. There was lots of repair works going on around but it did not spoil the atmosphere in the room.

Nice place for an early morning walk, along the pier as it stretches into the sea. Great views from the piers end - look back at Eastbourne, turn right to see Hastings. A lot better here and along the boardwalk than walking through the town!

Great little pier with wonderful views across the Eastbourne seafront. Good selection of shops as well to enable you to by souvenirs and other items. There was an arcade but it burnt down during the summer of 2014. It's still being rebuilt, not sure what it will be though, the rest of the pier is open as normal.

So pleased to see the pier still open after last years fire. We visited the Victorian tea room and had a cuppa with real tea and a tea strainer!! We also watched the glass blowing as we have done on previous visits.

So glad that the pier was saved after the devastating fire of 2014.
The restoration has been done with great speed, skill and attention to detail.
Wonderful views and facilities on the pier. A must for visitors to Eastbourne.

Half redone pier is a nice walk down with some cafes and a club, pretty views but not the most impressive of tourism at Eastbourne.

Quite a nice pier to just look at the view and the sea and breathe in some sea air. Costa Coffee at the entrance and handy toilets on the path underneath but otherwise not a lot to do. Pity that the old Amusement Arcade burnt down and hasn't yet been replaced. Couldn't find a traditional seaside arcade anywhere in Eastbourne - perhaps it's a bit too 'refined' - but even Llandudno has amusements on the pier itself.

we went on the pier several times just to enjoy the atmosphere there was lots to see and do but was also a nice place to walk and not spend money, although one after noon we treated ourselves to afternoon tea

My recent visit to Eastbourne pier was disappointing and somewhat of a concern with regard to safety. There is obviously some refurbishment work going on to replace rotting wooden deck boards. In some areas which the public area still permitted to walk along there was no visible means of support to the ends of some of the rotting boards and upwards of 2 inch holes. The gaps between the boards allowed the front wheels of the wheelchair I was pushing to get stuck. On particularly bad spot was not properly cordoned off. Lets hope it improves soon.

Eastbourne pier is a nice pier although it's currently under renovation.
The very best it is the old fashioned tea rooms on the pier.
These serve one of the very best cream teas I've ever had. Sandwich, cake, cream scone and tea or coffee for 2 for a total of £18. If your a cream tea fan and enjoy looking out to sea while you eat then this place is a must for you.

It's really hard to judge the pier right now as it's clear that there is so much hard work going into the repairs after last year's devastating fire. But the entrance is still fully functioning with chippy and icecream parlour. The middle section if the pier is fenced off but you can still walk either side, or sit in the benches. Two thirds along is the tearoom where you can have a cream tea for under £4 or a full afternoon tea for £9. There's a couple of gift shops and a confectioners, plus a few extra things to do at the end of the pier. I hope to go back and re-rate the pier once work is completed in the near future. PS cheap 99 icecream inc flake from the icecream man just by the steps under the pier - just £1

Lovely Victorian pier undergoing a little renovation. Cute shops selling trinkets, handbags, jewellery. Places to eat and drink, great views of beachy head.

One of the most popular places in Eastbourne. It is being reconstructed after the fire in autumn 2014. Hope that soon it will be open
