Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
A wonderful afternoon tea overlooking the sea. The staff were very attentive we had the full tea with a choice of sandwiches, fruit scones, jam and cream and a slice of cake from a good choice.
The tea was perfect all presented with lovely crockery and cake stand.
Well worth a visit we shall return again in a few weeks time when we are coming to stay in Eastbourne.

The pier was not as I expected it to be, there seemed to be a lack of things to do, but hopefully when rebuilt fully it will be better.

Work still ongoing to the Pier due to the fire last year but at the front of the pier, there's a small chip shop and a place to buy ice creams and doughnuts. On the Pier there is a Victorian tea room which is well worth a stop. Also there are a couple of small shops to spend your money.

Iconic part of Eastbourne. Great for all ages! Excellent glass blowing shop, super for unique gifts and very reasonable. Other gift shops and cafes too.

The pier is undergoing major rebuilding since the serious fire in the summer of 2014, so just watch out for the signs telling where you can go and where you can't. Good to see that you can see what is going on through the various portholes.

I'd happily return when the make-over's completed. At night it was still worth a wander around to see the sights and lights.

The pier has largely reopened after the big fire last year. There is a large section fenced off where the amusement arcade used to be but the decking repair is largely complete ready for whatever they're going to put there instead. The tea shops and souvenir stores are all open for business.

Glad a real effort is being made to bring back to life Eastbourne pier, after lasts years’ potentially fatal fire.
End on May 2015 when I visited, it seems to me as if most of the new deck is down.
I hope, once completed, the pier will be a bustling, fun place to visit.
Sadly, now, there doesn't seem to be much life in the old place, had a quick walk around the pier, a quick look in the few shops and we were off.
I think, for a pier to survive, it needs to be something along the lines of Brighton's pier. I know rides are not to everyone’s taste (and not really mine tbh) but you really need something to draw people onto the pier. Maybe this isn't possible on Eastbourne pier, I don't know. But, something really needs to be done to breathe some life back into the mostly rotting and rotten remains of the pier.
So, finally, I wait with baited breath to visit the grand old girl, in all her completed beauty.

Really love piers, despite all the works going on enjoyed going along the pier. Look forward to seeing the end result. Interesting to see the little portholes into the area being completed. Lovely little gift shop open, friendly owner. Ice creams lovely at beginning of pier.

A bit unfair to review the pier when it is still under repair after the fire. Only a couple of shops and a cafe open at the moment. Fishermen can hire a rod and line. Just like all piers it is nice to walk along it and there are excellent views of Eastbourne

The Victorian tea house offered a lovely pit stop for a coffee and lovely cakes / cream teas. The service was excellent at a reasonable price.

Not much to see as there is a lot of construction work going on. Will probably be good when finished but can't really tell. Ice cream shop at the front of the pier was very good value

We had a walk along the pier when we had a quick stop over in Eastbourne, although the weather was wet and windy it still made for a good visit. The pier has a nice traditional feel to it with the wood clad buildings.

It was lovely to see that the pier is open again after the fire last year. I can't wait to see it when the building work has been completed, however the other shops and venues were lovely to visit and it was lovely to walk along to the end and watch people fishing.

Work still underway due to the fire. Look forward to seeing it again after the repairs. Loved watching the anglers at the end of the pier,.

The pier is a must for fun from old fashioned games to dodgems swing boat coconut shy tin an alley and many more, or you could just sit on a seat and watch other people enjoying what Eastbourne has to offer the holiday maker

Eastbourne pier isn't the same without the amusements , it's a pier with a restaurant, tearoom, couple of shops and a pier to walk on, now it's gone you relise how much the town relied on it to pull in people , let's hope the rebuild doesn't take forever and everyone can enjoy the pier in all its glory once again

I always enjoy a walk along Eastbourne Pier. The renovations are going extremely well following the fire last August. I was pleased to see that the lady that sells ladies clothing/bags etc was back in business and always find her very friendly. They are good views of the town from the pier. There are places to purchase food. It is possible to see the work being done and I visited Eastbourne Pier last August just after the fire, in January and again at the beginning of May and each time can see improvements. Keep it up. It will be wonderful once all the work is completed.

Although still work in progress after the big fire... The pier look amazing and magnificent! Nice place for cheap shopping too... Worthy to see ;)

lovely olde timey pier with fabulous views of the beautiful shoreline buildings and the water, good mix of eating places that are fancy or casual or grab and go, vintage vibe and i'm very glad they are keeping this look and not using the rebuild to modernize, nice and wide so even when crowded its not compacted, benches along one side to relax, fishing off the pier, can walk on when shops are closed and its worth a wander regardless
