After the devastating fire the pier has reopened. Lovely vantage point to watch the airshow.

Parking in Eastbourne whilst the airshow is on can be a hassell. Use park and ride

I think it's a great space for families and couples alike , I love the new chandeliers in the tea house , pity we can't ditch the plastic flowers , the bar is good for meeting up , and the pier itself is very tidy and clean , , love it really

Nice traditional pier with pleasant shops, fish and chips, bars etc
Loads of nice picnic benches etc.
Listen for the gulls kicking off under the end of the pier and then watch the schools of larger fish chasing fry to the surface, which can be a spectacular sight.
Only minor negative is that the gulls are a problem with food and management could easily solve this as other piers have, with some strategically placed bunting which stops the swooping gull attacks.

Wow what a gorgeous Victoriana pier. Wonderful views & loads of little shops.
We had a drink in the pub which the prices were quite cheap. Then we went to the victoriana tea room. The cakes were the nicest cakes I had ever had.
We will definitely be back one day.

Beautiful, well maintained pier with plenty of seating to relax and take in the view. We had a lovely stroll round the Pier - a must for any visit to Eastbourne seaside!

The pier is beautiful. There was a lot to see on each side, and the facilities were good. It is certainly not like going to any other pier, however, as there were no amusements and both much to do... At all! I'm not sure whether I would go back as it had fewer views than Beachy Head, and fewer things to do than the majority of attractions in Eastbourne.

Eastbourne is a beautiful place, the pier provides a beautiful view of the town. There are a few arcades and a couple places to grab a bite, its worth visiting once. It could do with a bit of updating and more activities to do.

It certainly has a shabby chic but the view over the shoreline is lovely. And free wifi for 30 minutes is a nice addon. 😀

I have been going to the pier since I was a kid. After it burned down I was worried it would never get back to its former glory. Last night I walked along the pier and was pleasantly surprised. It Actually looks a lot better without the arcades, with open spaces and benches. The decking behind Atlantis is great, a cafe there would be good!

We were only here for an overnight stop at Polegate en route to Dorset and spent a very enjoyable day, apart from getting sunburnt, walking on the seafront, Pier and shops of Eastbourne, so this is not just about the Pier. Everyone we met and/or spoke to were very friendly and helpful and would like to visit again and stay longer next time. Just to give our legs and feet a rest in the afternoon we chose to take a ride on the open top bus. Value for money we think, as are most of these trips, and included the possibility of getting off at Beach Head if you wished, which at that particular moment was very cloudy and windy so we gave it a miss. If we had it might have helped avoiding some of that sunburn I think!

The pier is an interesting piece of history, however while it does maintain some of its Victorian heritage it has suffered multiple fires over the years and not much of the original structures are left (the most recent one destroyed almost half of it completely).

It will be interesting to see what the new owner does with it, for now though it's a shadow of it's former self.

In the mean time it still has amazing views, a cafe, a bar and a few interesting shops so well worth a visit.

Much quieter than its sister in Brighton, a classic and typical English venue located near the beautiful city center of Eastbourne. Games, food, seagulls, a nice resting place to chill after shopping or walking the whole water front.

Walked right to the end of this pier on Saturday! Had a beer sitting on the end with amazing views! The sun was shining and people watching here was fun! Seagulls flying / landing / posing.. Lots of eateries and makes for a very pleasant few hours :)

A visit to the pier is a must to enjoy the great views of the ocean and Eastbourne. There is not much to see or do on the pier, there are a few arcades and cafes/restaurants. The pier is a bit worn down and is in need of refurbishment and cleaning. There are large trash bins just by the entrance which gives a bad first impression.
