Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
You cannot really go to Eastbourne without taking a walk along the pier and its not looking too bad at all although time will tell as to what the owners end up doing with it.

well worth a visit the repairs do not get in the way at all, the cafe in the middle of the pier serves light lunches of excellent quality

Speaking to a shopkeeper there, she told us that there had been a bad fire on the pier and the evidence was there to see - lights deformed because they had melted in the heat. She said the pier wasn't the same. But, even so, I'd recommend a visit. There is a lovely gift shop selling quirky seaside memorabilia - great fun and inexpensive! There's the Victorian tearoom - lovely cream teas! Actually there's quite a lot to see!

Classic resort pier in good condition, especially after the fire. Superb views of the shore from the end of the pier.

A traditional pier which is good for strolling. There is a victorian tea rooms there for coffee and afternoon tea which is welcome when the wind is blowing in the winter but a bit hot in summer.
Other than a few slot machines there are no other amusements - it will be interesting to see what the new owner provides in the future.

Fourth time staying in Eastbourne .As usual we had our walk along the pier.I noticed the towers painted gold and thought that looks odd.Then I saw the banner Sheikhs Pier.So I went on google and learned it was now owned by a gentlemen from India who owns hotels in the area.It is good hes finishing off the repairs but was sorry to see that now no more fishing allowed,no more dogs and some of the little kiosks now have gaming machines.I wouldn't mind paying a £1 to go on the pier as has been suggested but please allow the fishermen back and dogs and put back the shop keepers (loved looking at the unusual seaside souvenirs ) People dont like change thats why Eastbourne is called a traditional British seaside resort.Traditional being the word.I hope when we go back again its as it was .Not that it can without its dome but as near as possible would be great.

Went for a walk along the pier. It was the first time we had visited it since its reopening after the fire. A lot quieter and not as much to see as there used to be. Lovely tea room and a bar though. Very surprised to see tacky gold painting on the domes. Not the traditional blue which fits in a lot better with Victorian Eastbourne. I do hope however that the new owners are able to restore it back to its former glory.

We thought the revamped pier was in keeping with Eastbourne sea front. Not controversial at all. A lot of time and effort has been put into making the pier good again

A sunny day spent here at the beach was absolutely lovely. Soaked in the sun, had chips by the pier and then had coffee by a roadside cafe. The walk up and down the beach is very relaxing

What a lovely place, Very friendly people. Went on a random day out with my wife and baby.<br>The fish and chips ( on the pier) was yummy but don't sit inside, instead walk up the pier where benches are provided.<br>Parking was cheap £4 for the whole day.<br>Lots of places along the beach to stop for something to eat or drink.<br>I would definitely go again 100%.

We had tea in the Victorian Tea room on the pier, it was really good and great value indeed, well recommended. We also saw a little glass shop where they make their own little ornaments, very pretty designs and lovely to buy as a gift.

A fantastic old fashioned pier, harking back to the Victorian days in which it was built. It has many old shops, including a sweet shop and a tea room, as well as some modern touches, such as a night club and a bar. A section of the pier containing an arcade was sadly destroyed by a fire in 2014, but the section has since been turned into a picnic area - on a clear day there are fantastic views of the seaside and a distant light tower. This is a must - see attraction in Eastbourne.

The pier has had a refurb and is lovely open and inviting. Picknick Tables are down each side but only food bought on the pier can be consumed there. There are a couple of gift shops and a small arcade. There is a bar at the very end which unfortunately shut early at 8.30 which was a little disappointing as we were on holiday and would have liked to have had a drink there. The pier is an inviting place which I would reccommend

lovely old pier, well kept, the usual slot machines and places to eat and stunning views out to sea and back to the seafront

Nice little pier. Better build quality than Southend-on-Seas. Just a shame there was not much to do on it. Just some small arcades and tea rooms.

Visited the newly refurbished pier while in Eastbourne for the day....gold everywhere...Shame though that the locals can't fish off the end of the pier anymore as its all fenced off.

Not as attractive as Brighton, obviously, not even quite that of Hastings, one would say this town deserves a better one. Seems that there was in the past and was burnt..
Anyway, it lacks the attractions or shops, but it ia a good place to walk and have a view from the sea. If that is what you expect, not bad.
Careful with the seagulls, they steal your meal!!

Every pier has its unique charm. This one has the traditional slot machines, a nice gift shop selling all kinds of beachy stuff. I mention the gift shop as the lady inside was very helpful and not over pushy. For some reason the lights were not on Wednesday night, and many of the lamps have been smashed and broken. The pier is cute but needs some TLC. The bus stop to Brighton is very close to it, as are the open top sightseeing busses. You can get fish and chips on the pier and drinks, all the usual stuff. Worth a visit especially at sunset.
