I think it is well worth saving / helping as the young people love it, it is a lovely addition to the coastline.

Was being repaired after a fire but was still open.Is well kept and has seating all down the sides which was nice as no trying to find somewhere to sit. Few shops and places to eat, not really much for older kids.

If you visit Eastbourne, you'd be letting yourself down if you don't visit the pier. The cream tea in the Victorian Lounge is simply divine.

I have always loved Eastbourne Pier and its convenient location, I would strongly recommend a visit.

There was a lot of new boardwalk work being undertaken which was looking really good. We were only there in the evening (8pm) but all the shops and eateries were shut. The nightclub at the end of the pier was almost full, with the bar next door completely empty. It seemed like a missed opportunity that strollers had nowhere to spend a few quid :-)

This was a visit after many years and we enjoyed the visit very much. There was a designated fishing area, good refreshment places, gift shop and clothing sales. There was a small smoking area but we did not see anyone using it. The view of both sea and the seafront were splendid and we were pleased to be able to buy good quality ice cream and candy floss at the entrance to the pier.

Very busy place to visit with a lovely fish and chip shop café place near the entrance to the pier. Plenty to do 'onboard' amusements and fishing. I went with my friends cousins family and we had afternoon tea in the café which was of a very good standard. A good meeting place but parking busy nearest the pier.

Pier is typical seaside pier, bit in need of love and affection. Is in process of being repaired. Looks nice from a distance in the sun.

I love old piers, and marvel at how the Victorians constructed their piers. Eastbourne pier is another pier that has suffered fire damage.

A walk on the pier left us slightly disappointed with what was on it. Now is the time to bring the pier into the present

The pier is still being re-built after last years fire but before and I am sure when done will be a wonderful place to go . No dogs though , shame as we have 2 . Not sure why , some piers do allow and some don't.

The old slots are a giggle while the roller coaster at the end is fun not frightening . Lots to eat and drink also on the pier .

Work is well under way restoring the pier to its former glory following the fire that damaged the middle section. New boards are now in place which allows access around the whole structure, but as yet the shops in the middle have yet to return. Well worth walking to the end and looking back to the town, in the evening, when lights are glowing giving the town front a lovely feeling.

Pier is still a major attraction despite undergoing continuous repair. It is still well worth a stroll down on a warm summers evening.

Despite the fire nearly a year ago, the Pier is still worth a visit. Wonderful views from the end of the Pier back to Eastbourne's seafront. On a sunny day, lovely to sit and observe. Also there are historic walks running from East and West of the Pier.

Very nice day but a little windy. Because of the works being undertaken, a lot of the pier was blocked off. We went into the Victorian tearoom, but a lot of tables needed clearing. They also did not serve decaffeinated coffee or tea. In the glass shop it was very interesting to see the glass items being made.

Despite the fire damage which is being repaired the pier offers lovely views of the town and coast from Pevensey bay to Beachy head and good old fashioned booths and entertainment.

It was a grey day when we visited Eastbourne but we didn't think our day would be complete without a walk on the pier. A lot of repair work has taken place and you can complete a whole walk around the pier. However it is not a pretty sight, and some of the attractions are still in need of some TLC to complete the restoration; a few were not even open. But if you go to Eastbourne you really must complete your trip with a stroll around this piece of history!

Should look even better when its finished being rebuilt after the fire last year, not too long to wait now.

It is a lovely pier with a beautiful Victorian Tea room. Building work is taking place at the moment but you can still walk to the end.

It's a great pity that the fire burnt part of the pier it's a brilliant place to meet new friends and talk about the history of the great pier it's on its way of being rebuilt will return to see it then

Lovely pier, good selection of gift shops. Ideal for picnicing and promenading! Watch out for gulls.

there will always be something very special about taking a stroll arm in arm along the pier...grabbing some seafood off the stall, playing penny push in the arcade and just hanging off the end watching the anglers...whilst eating ice cream and getting as messy as the average 3 year old!!...losing Eastbourne Pier is yet another very sad loss...we'd only been there a couple of weeks before we lost it...so so sad!!!
