It was beautiful Eastbourne pier would recommend it no hills

Lovely

We've all seen the pier, had fish and chips and maybe even the odd pint at the 1901 bar.
But last year we tied the knot in the Ocean Suite at the end of the pier.
The views are breathtaking, and makes for unforgettable wedding photographs.
We had our entire day, from the ceremony, through to the wedding breakfast into the evening buffet all in one location.
The staff were all great, very friendly and nothing was too much.
I could not recommend the ocean suite and Eastbourne pier enough for your big day, or just for a visit.

Just fun.

You can see this pier from miles. It was calling me to go there to check it out for sure. There is no entrance fee which was a surprise. It was a nice place to enjoy the open air and sea after a hike. There are places to eat, souvenir shop s and places to play games so kids too will be kept busy. Loved to feed the sea gulls all my chips (unfortunately we not nice at all so glad to give them away). Had fun being here. Definitely want to be here again.

Lovely Victoria tea room...💖

Visited during Airshow Weekend was great place to go with free Airshow along the beach to watch or from the Pier. 😃

Thriving and attractive pier

We usually stop at the Eastbourne Pier at the end of our hike from Seaford. They have games, as well as a few places to grab a bite. Must see if you are in Eastbourne!

Nice Pub at the end of pier, did lovely coffee

A bracing walk on a sunny winters dau

I love the pier just to walk along the sea and stand at the end. Perfect

Unusually no entrance fee to a pier. Was there on a windy day and it was bracing at the end, but how good it felt! Good coffee shop, amusements were fun and cheap and some interesting shops. Great morning there

Fantastico

Lovely Pier which has been lovingly restored.<br>Lots of seating and a great place to go for a walk.

Closed today. Went there last year. Excellent tea and scones when open

Nice to see it seems as good as new after the fire. We only had a stroll round it because being January it was quite cold

Love traditional piers

Great , nice and clean.

The proposal for a pier was first mooted at the end of 1863, and highly favoured by the town’s major landowner, the 7th Duke of Devonshire. It was to have been 1000 feet in length and, at a cost of £12,000, would have been situated at the end of the town’s grandest avenue, Devonshire Place. However, the project was delayed and finally abandoned in favour of the present site at the junction of Grand and Marine Parades, thus creating the easterly end of what amounts to a shingle bay. The pier interrupts what would otherwise have been a ribbon development of buildings – to the west, high-class hotels, with modest family hotels and boarding houses to the east.[1]<br><br>The Eastbourne Pier Company was registered in April 1865 with a capital of £15,000[2] and on 18 April 1866 work began. It was opened by Lord Edward Cavendish on 13 June 1870, although it was not actually completed until two years later.[3] On New Year's Day 1877 the landward half was swept away in a storm. It was rebuilt at a higher level, creating a drop towards the end of the pier. The pier is effectively built on stilts that rest in cups on the sea-bed allowing the whole structure to move during rough weather. It is roughly 300 metres (1000 ft) long. A domed 400-seater pavilion was constructed at a cost of £250 at the seaward end in 1888. A 1000-seater theatre, bar, camera obscura and office suite replaced this in 1899/1901. At the same time, two saloons were built midway along the pier.[4] The camera obscura fell into disuse in the 1960s but was restored in 2003 with a new stairway built to provide access.[1]<br><br>Paddle steamers (such as the PS Brighton Queen and the PS Devonia) operated by P and A Campbell ran trips from the pier along the south coast and across the Channel to Boulogne[2] from 1906 until the outbreak of the Second World War. These were resumed after the war, but the paddle steamers were gradually withdrawn from service. In 1957, the final season was operated by a motor vessel.<br><br>During the Second World War, part of the decking was removed and machine guns were installed in the theatre providing a useful point from where to repel any attempted enemy landings and a Bofors anti-aircraft gun was sited midway along the length of the pier.[5] In December 1942, an exploding mine caused considerable damage to the pier and nearby hotels; it had been tied to the stanchions by the local police, who were under the mistaken impression that it was fitted with a safety device. In 1943, a detachment of Royal Canadian Engineers fixed camouflage netting over the stanchions to conceal flotillas of small vessels, such as wooden assault landing craft. A George Medal and a British Empire Medal were awarded to two of the engineers who dived into the sea on 3 February 1943 to rescue a comrade who had fallen from a cableway which crossed a 30-foot gap in the structure.[6]<br><br>Various traditional pier theatres were built over the years but after the last one was destroyed by fire in 1970,[2] it was replaced by a nightclub and bar which remain to this day.[3] On the landward half of the pier stands a fish and chip kiosk, an amusement arcadeand a fast food outlet. Further out, as well as the club there is a cafe, a restaurant, a glassblower, a clothes shop and an ice creamshop.[7] The tower at the end of the pier is often used as a viewing point during the annual air show.<br><br>In May 2009, the Listed building status of the Pier was upgraded from Grade II to Grade II*.[8][9]<br><br>Six Piers Limited placed Eastbourne Pier up for sale in 2009, with an asking price of £5.5 million. The sale price included a tea room, two bars, an amusement arcade and a nightclub.[10]<br><br>On 21 October 2015, Sheikh Abid Gulzar, a local hotelier, bought the pier for an undisclosed fee, although it is believed to be less than £5.5 million

Lovely place to visit picnic on pier fantastic views..

Visited on Friday 20th October. This is a majestic pier well maintained and a pleasure to visit. It was quiet on the day we visited but can imagine during warmer months it would be packed with people enjoying themselves. If your into old piers this is one of the best still surviving today and a must see.

Good
