Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
It was a very windy day and it was a lovely bracing walk along the pier. The tea room is the only one I have ever seen with chandeliers and nice selection of squidgy cakes. They were still restoring the pier and there was one or two worrying holes in the walkway so perhaps there is still room for improvement.

As per title. Nothing amazing. Great sea breeze and views.
It seems like you can still enter pier even in the evening no gates stopping you from entering

Not as good as it was ......yet but certainly getting there.
I absolutely love the gold trims and think it adds a certain something to the place. The tea rooms are fantastic but maybe a bit too pricey but your paying for the vintage experience.
I'm not quite sure how they enforce the 'only food and drinks purchased on the pier can be consumed here' and it seems a strange rule but I supposed the gold merc driving owner must keep the funds rolling in some how.
The place is in desperate need for some more lights though as when it gets dark it hasn't got the feeling of a pier in a holiday town.
Kids messing about in the evening is pretty intimidating but we had no problem with them or the alcohol drinkers congregating under the pier itself.
Over all it needs a lot more work but I don't doubt it'll be well on track by next summer. A good place to visit whilst in this beautiful seaside town. Just make sure you bring plenty of spends!!!

Uno de los rincones más agradables de Eastbourne, muy bien equipado con bancos, mesas sombrillas y negocios donde tomarte un café, una pinta o un aperitivo

We visited the Pier a couple of time during our stay, we could see a lot of work had been done and was being carried out. It was nicely done and clean and tidy with some nice touches. Look forward to returning in the future to see the finished thing

OK, so who remembers Yogi Bear? The pier has changed a bit since our last visit. There are picnic tables on the vast refurbished deck area as you go onto the pier. There are some subtle amusement machines in a little building. Plus a bar and club. There is a gift shop and a Victorian tea-room. At the end of the pier, there were always people fishing from a low platform that is barely above the sea when the tide is high. I read somewhere that he new owner has put an end to this (I suspect on safety grounds) Guess what. On the low fishing deck, instead of fishermen (and women) there were Yogi Bear picnic tables. I suspect that someone got hold of a job lot. It's good that the new owner is renovating this Victorian icon but the golden age has long gone. Let's see what happens in the future. Best wishes to the project. Oh yes, if you want to bring a picnic, there is ample seating.

Great place to go. One of the best places for people to visit in Sussex. And good for Pokemon go.

Not what you'd expect from a pier. Not enough of the usual things to do but what is really odd is the huge building at the end is a night club, so it's closed during the day and you have to go round it to get to then end of the pier.
Nice enough though, on a blustery September day. There's a nice tea shop in the middle.

First time we have been back to Eastbourne sine 2014, and they were due to re-open it on the Saturday, when we had to leave on the Friday.
This pier has been restored to it's former glory, and without the tackiness of Brighton pier with it's myriad of Rides,Arcades and noise.
It is a lovely place to wander along, with Quaint Victorian tea rooms, and of course the Fish & Chip units, but as Kenny Everett said "All in the best possible taste"
Loved it, don't see how you could not visit it, and it's FREE.

The tea rooms are Devine. Lovely cakes and proper tea pots. Lovely treat there is. Glass shop where all glass flowers are made by hand and other items and they have times when you can go and watch how they do it.

It's good to see its back to normal after seeing it after the fire , but dogs aren't allowed now so the shops and arcades will loose custom , although we went down separately to see how it was we didn't stop or spend money which we would of normally as we like the 2p machines and have fun where ever we go , shame !

Great pier. Has a few shops that sell seaside treats and an arcade section. There is also a nightclub there but we did not visit. It jas a victorian tea room that looked very cosy. Was quiet when we went.

So much cleaner, plenty of walking area, plenty of seating. 3 small amusement arcades.... one tea room... so much has been done and so many plans are being made to restore this place.

Pier looked clean and spacious after recent refurbishment.Not really keen on all the gold lion heads everywhere and the gold domes,makes it look a bit tacky !!

As has been noted in other reviews the tower of the pier looks like a mosque. There are still one or two shops on the pier. Unfortunately most of the others have been turned into amusement arcades.

The guy that brought this place has done a great job in bringing back the piers splendour, the gold tops to the towers look so in keeping with the rest of the structure. hopefully the pier will attract more business as the years go on

Clean and tidy got a few gift shops on it and a tea shop and a chip shop which do love chips. Wheelchair accessible lovely to sit down and watch the world go by

Nice to visit and have a cream tea.

There has been a lot of debate since the flamboyant owner took it over, especially when he painted the domes and embellishments gold, but it makes me smile. It is being restored, and is a popular place for people to walk on, have tea or something stronger, or play the machines. I look forward to the camera obscura being reopened.

Love this place as its not changed in years but is still as fresh as it was years ago. Small shops, amusements and a good walk with great views.

Fabulous pier, beautiful scenery by day, pleasant walks and the weather was smashing. By night, the promenade was lit up spectacularly and it was a joy to walk up and down the street listening to the waves

The walk from our hotel to the pier was wonderful. It was a bright and sunny day. When we got to the pier, we were greeted by a choir group outside and as we walked in, a lovely fish and chips shop on your right and a coffee shop on your left. The walk around the pier was fascinating as we could get deep out to sea without actually having to tread on water. Lovely with little amusement centres to keep the kids occupied and happy. A Victoria Tea Shop is also there for those who fancy having their scones! Lovely pier and a must experience.
