Just spent a day at Eastbourne. Have not been there for several years, so was a bit apprehensive - but....... delighted to find such a lovely seaside. Dropped off at Pier. The Pier was spotlessly clean and being painted.... There were wooden slatted tables and stools for picnics and the seating round the edges of the Pier were being painted blue/white. The main building was painted gold on the roof and looked a bit like a mosque, but never the less. And it was FREE admission... There was a restaurant at the end of the Pier. The Prom was clean and the gardens beautiful. Not too busy. There was a lovely Bandstand that was used weekly and a Theatre further along on the opposite side of the road.The only down side was the lack of nice places to eat along the Prom. There was a café that did sandwiches/cakes and snacks, but nowhere on the 'Front' where you could have a nice meal. The only places I did find was, Harry Ramsdens..... and another Fish/Chips place at the entrance to the Pier (not everyone wants to eat Fish and Chips even if there are by the sea). But nice safe place for families.

Good to see that despite the fire, the pier is still up and running. I can even cope with the new owner's obsession with gold, but for the life of me cannot see why he has banned fishing form the pier.

Unfortunately parts of the pier were closed off for resturation work, so we couldn't get out to the end. but its still worth an amble out as far as you can go.

Nice for walk. Not sure about the club and bar at the end of it. Arcade could also do with an upgrade .

We visited this weekend and the weather was fantastic so the views from the pier were great. That being said it is a very short pier, took us about 15 minutes walking slowly to go up and down it. There's some picnic benches at the end and a few arcades, but not much else. The restaurants/cafes are very outdated, catering for the older generation that appreciate 50s decor I think. Needs some investment....Jamie Oliver need a project maybe? Could be perfect if it was snazzed up.

I was on the pier last Saturday which happened to be a beautiful day. The place was packed and buzzing.

I'm delighted to see the pier renewed and reconstructed by a local businessman. Well done sir! It's delightful again although the lovely old building is gone after the fire.

However, what's there now is great and I love the big gold dome. A bit of bling, what!

Plenty of things to do and see on the pier and the view is spectacular.

Long may it stand!

Looks well kept, decking is solid and wide, the front gate has small cafes in it that are not too pricy. Attraction's at the far end that looked busy.

Although free to go on there wasn't really a lot to offer on the pier. The arcades and few attractions looked tired and in need of an update. Whoever owns the pier needs to decide what its function is and how best to use it.

Loved the new look of the pier; it's golden turrets with navy blue and white contrasting features looks really smart. If visiting Eastbourne you must take a stroll along the pier to see an alternative view of the town. Fish n chip shop, Victorian themed tea room, a bar and tourist nicknack shop - wonderful!

It is what it is, free admission and usual shops and arcades but all good value, stopped for some good old fashioned chips from the chip shop which were very nice.

Good choice of food. Lots for children and adults on a cold summer day. New owner obviously making a real effort to renovate and tidy up.

Not many left these days in this beautiful condition. Well looked after, interested, busy with lovely views over Eastbourne. It was like going back to the past, which was most enjoyable.

Not a lot to do on here now so pretty boring ! Sad really when last time we had endless fun in the arcade ! We walked up and down and that was it , there is literally nothing to do ! I know it's still a tourist attraction and is a lovely pier but the kiddies were bored .

Lots of little shops the best two being the old fashioned fudge shop selling home made fudge and the victorian tea rooms. Just under the pier you can get the best sea food in town.

Lords of new seating area's , a pleasant walk. A few shops. Not really great for kids. A new table seating area at the end of the pier is a great addition

Well, its free & its a pier. Its not very long in length. At the entrance are a couple of eating shops. Along the pier are about 3 sets of small arcades, there is a nightclub and a food & drink bar. Its all very basic.
The food & drink bar is quite small and has no facilities of its own to eat outside. (The owners could learn how to improve this. Just look at Bournemouth pier).
There are various seats & tables along the pier. There is little else to do. On a fine day, have a wander & admire the sea view.

On Saturday whilst my wife and I were visiting Eastbourne we went onto the Eastbourne pier for a walk around it.Since we were last here part of the pier was burnt down in a fire
But it has been rebuild and a great job they have made of it .The layout has been changed to provide wider space for all and wooden tables and seats placed for people to sit and eat their picnic or takeaways.The pier has many shops and cafes selling meals snacks or takeaways.There is also places selling alcohol drinks.The pier is better now than what is was before the fire occurred.Well worth a visit for anyone visiting Eastbourne.The entrance is free to all which is even better.
