Visited while being refurbished after the fire. It still has the old charm of the 50s, and I am sure will be renovated back to its old style.

The Pier has been partly destroyed after a fire. The renovation has started and we were so happy to discover its aspect during the renovation.

Nice café right in the middle of the pier. Interesting décor and ambience. Home made scones are part of the afternoon cream tea. Friendly staff and reasonable prices that won't break the bank

Stayed in Eastbourne for 5 days and this was definitely the best part of our trip. Loved the blue victorian architecture which gave a awesome vintage feel to the whole pier. Was able to take excellent photo shots with all the little details and features. Would definitely recommend a leisurely walk around this lovely pier to all, taking in the sea, sun and sky. Shame about the scaffolding, but this even was able to get good photos with this too. Unbelievably saw Roy Hodgson too while walking around!

The pier is still undergoing restoration after last year's fire but they have worked really hard to ensure that you can still walk up and down both sides to the end of the pier. Some shops are open including the lovely doughnut shop at the entrance and the gift shops on the pier.

Was nice to wander around freely whilst it's being restored after last year's fire and you can still go right to the end of the pier The inaccessible work area that is being repaired can be viewed through various portholes [adult and child level] and is worth seeing in itself.

The pier was devastated by fire in 2014 but work is rapidly underway to restore it to it's former glory. Even what remains is worth the walk to the end. Such piers are rare and a traditional part of British seaside life. It will be wonderful when the pier is completely back to normal.

Major construction work going on to rebuild the burned down parts of the pier. Still, a landmark of Eastbourne. As most piers it offers gambling and overpriced crappy food and drinks. Even though its not very well maintained it is still a landmark of Eastbourne and definitely worth a visit, if only for the flair and scenery.

Really great to see Eastbourne pier being repaired after the fire damage. Lovely stroll, a good tea room, and some good shops. And free admission. Well done Eastbourne!

Really enjoyed a walk along the Pier, coupled with coffee and tea cake in the Victorian Tea Rooms. Interesting to see the workers rebuilding the part of the pier that was damaged last year.

The pier is under major refurbishment after last years fire, so to be fair we cannot comment too much, but what has been completed looked OK, it was a lovely long walk with stunning panoramic views. There are places open to eat and drink.

After a major fire last year, renovation looks like the Pier will be better than ever, when completed.

We took a stroll along the pier there are still some small shops open even though it is being restored after the fire last year. You can see were they have put down new wooden flooring.

Glad to see they are spending a lot of money restoring this lovely old pier. Certainly the focal point in this Victorian town and important keeping it up to date. They are laying beautiful new timber decking and making it a good place to visit. Will call back in the summer to see if they are finished. You are able to fish off the end of the pier and you can hire the rods etc. so children love it. Quite a lot of shelter for windy days so cannot wait to go back.

It would have been easy to allow Eastbourne Pier to decay after the fire that damaged it so badly a couple years back but the council took the brave step of investing in its restoration. I love the pier for its famous evening mumuration of starlings. There are still places to eat, buy souvenirs and have fun. And there's nothing better than a brisk stroll out to the far end where fishermen gather and the tackle shop plies its trade. At the moment the restoration work denies access to much if the town end but, when it's done, I look forward to what will be one our our best remaining piers.

Although damaged by fire in the summer of 2014, this Eugenius Birch pier is being restored and much of the original Victorian fabric remains undamaged. This is how a pier should be - ornate, dripping with fancy iron-work, quirky, melancholy and pretty.

Disappointing compared to Brighton Pier.
There is some work going on, but it would seem it needs
a complete refurbishment, if it is to be a major attraction

I love piers and was so sad when Eastbourne pier went up in flames. Happily the renovation work is well underway and it looks as though the pier's former glory will be reinstated. You must walk to the end of the pier on a visit to Eastbourne, come rain or shine. Chips on the pier make a fine lunch but beware of the seagulls.

Everyone but everyone enjoys a walk on the pier. This is not the longest in the world but worth a stroll to the end.The centre of the pier is boarded off following an obvious serious fire. Viewing windows allow you to see the extent of the damage and work in progress.
Fishing tackle and bait is available at the end of the pier.Go on blow the cobwebs off !
