Our recent visit was during the extensive restoration of the Pier after the fire.
And its looking good. the floor timbers were almost laid and the whole project has been sympathetically done to blend in with the original Victorian masterpiece. Although what the Victorians would have made of the grubby,dirty club at the end of the Pier i dread to think !

A friend told me there had been a fire not too long ago. There's a lot of building work going on, so difficult to say what it will be like when it's finished. Some units open, some closed, I hope it will be rejuvenated once completed.

It is a great place for a walk in the afternoon. Despite there are not many things to see, the place is nice.

Fantastic stroll for the views of Eastbourne coastline and stepping back in time. Quaint little shops on the pier, in particular a hand blown glass shop that sells really cute little items at a fraction of the price you'd pay in Burano, Italy!

A nice good-looking pier indeed. A gem compared to other similar ones along the coast. Definitely a place to see when in Eastbourne.

This restaurant is one of our favourite reasons for going to Eastbourne. It's just around the corner from hotel and really handy if the weather's not so good. The food and service is always first class and there's always a lovely intimate ambiance. Gets a bit busy at the weekends...

On visiting Eastborne we decided to walk the pier, what lovely views of the town from the end of the pier. It was a lovely sunny day with calm seas. The floor boards have been replaced in some areas, and the walk it smooth and level. Many interesting shops and I must put on record that is was absolutely fantastic the way all concerned have rallied round to try to get businesses back to normal following last year’s dramatic and traumatic pier fire. I wish them well.

Its not as great as brighton but its still worth a visit. I think they had some breakdown a year or so ago and was under refurbishment, so was half closed. if you are around than give it a go.

The Pier is not too long (like Southend's one) and has fantastic victorian-style quirky pier architecture. Lovely sea views, naturally. The cafe was very nice, if a tad expensive. Fishing rod+reel hire at the end, a nice touch. Very good pier, oh and a good pub..

An old fashioned pier experience. Not too big, but big enough to take you back to the heyday of the English seaside experience. Currently being refurbished, so not totally open.

The pier had its fire since we last visited it in June 2014. You can still get to the end of the pier past the area near the entrance being restored. Hopefully the owners will take the opportunity to make the whole of the pier more attractive for tourists. It is still an attractionworth visiting even if you just walk to the end and back again.

Good old days take a trip down the old prom and go back in time at this well persevered pier, lovely views and wind blown around your hairr ice cream to top it off

Due to the fire which destroyed parts of the pier, it does look like a building site (which it is). The entrance is mainly untouched by the fire but from thereon there are blue hoardings both sides of the pier and you can walk either side of these to get further down the pier. Apparently there is talk of a dispute about the building works although there were a few workmen around and builders' cabins in a cordoned off areas on the beach near the pier.

We had to go and visit Eastbourne Pier, as a few days after we were here last time, it caught fire and partially burnt down, so we went to see how they're getting on repairing the pier, all seems to going well, although the fishing aint no better

The pier is undergoing reconstruction after a fire last year but still accessible for a stroll right to the end where the Waterfront Cafe bar offers a good 'pub grub' menu. We saw several elderly people tripping up over the raised level seating areas. Our food was quite acceptable at the price, service good, no complaints.

The pier is still being refurbished (Oct 2015) but is still worth a visit and a walk to the end, very bracing

Was having a refurbishment in August 2015 but still worth a visit with lovely views of Eastbourne. Lots of character still.

As with all piers this was a nice walk on a sunny day. All the usual attractions and the costs attached. A good experience for all lovers of English seaside piers.

It was Quaint and very bygone years , there was a lot of maintenance work going on but I know with a structure of this size an age there has to be .

I have only given it a 3 as it is currently being repaired due to the fire, which restricts access to the whole pier. What is open is very good.
