The pier is a huge part of Eastbourne seafront and I can't wait to see the building work finished. I hope it looks similar to how the old pier did because it's what made it stand out. The story behind why one half of the pier is higher than the other half is also amazing, definitely a lot history on it! Lovely to walk down on a hot summers day with an ice cream!

Excellent cream tea...and a great place to spend some time. Shown some of the highlights by some friends and will definitely make time to revisit.

The pier is under repair at the moment due to fire damage but we think that it will be worth visiting in the future.

The Pier is being refurbished at the moment, due to the fire. All the little shops and cafe's were closed when we visited on Sunday. The views towards the beach are lovely

Its good to see the amount of work done in a few short months looking good.
Dislike the mindless act of burning the pier.

Very relaxed atmosphere, staff excellent, we ordered a Victorian Tea Party, and when it came we was exceptionally satisfied, the tea was freshly made from loose tea with tea strainer and china cups and saucers, choice of freshly prepared sandwiches with all crusts removed, freshly homemade scones with fresh cream, strawberry jam and butter, followed by a choice of freshly made cakes, fantastic, you must go.

Essential visit in any sea side place. Pleasant, enough of little speciality shops and restaurants. Even in the strong wind but bright sun it was a pleasure to walk there.

If you have time to get away for a day, Eastbourne - not too far but one of the best places to walk from town by the coast to Beachy Head.
AMAZING VIEWS!!!!

Wonderful pier, still able to walk to the end of the pier. Fire damaged area being restored. Only part not accessible is the damaged area where the arcade was. Cordoned off and walkway at the side to allow access to shops and cafe.

Used to come here a lot with the kids, then grandkids. Was away the day of the fire, had actually been on the beach the previous day. My Daughter rang me. Still go to visit the few remaining shops
Why does no-one put sprinklers on these old wooden structures. The Grandkids loved the soft play area upstairs and playing the "penny" machines, dance mat.

I visited the Pier with Family. Family Reunion. Was very Sad as the Pier was under Restoration.
Was Able to see Restoration through Viewing Windows and It looks like the Workman have been Working Very Hard under Difficult Circumstances. WELL DONE! I felt really Glad to see Poems and Pictures that People have wrote and drawn about how they felt about the Fire. It was Nice to see the Gift Shop is still doing really well. Able to buy a Few Gifts of My Visit. Had a Walk along Pier and went into Glass Shop and watched the Lady making glass Flowers. Even though the Weather was Chilly I very Much Enjoyed My Trip on the Pier.

Good view of coast line from pier. Although a large part was destroyed by fire in March 2014 restoration is well under way and it is possible to walk to the end. Due to time of year all shops and kiosks were not open but the view of the coastline was excellent

Good pier (although not functioning last year because of the fire). Only thing I don't like is the loud music you have to put up with. This pier and Brighton's!

Due to the fire damage the centre at the front of the pier is under going major work but you can still walk around the sides to the pier café ( for a coffee) and the shops and amusements are still trading.

Never miss a chance to wander round a pier. Loved the fairy lights and the architectural detail of the sadly closed camera obscura. The pier looks beautiful from the beach at sunset. We visited early evening and had a very pleasant walk.

What a shame that the pier is so sad at present. Hopefully when we next visit the restoration will be well underway. I have marked it very good because I am sure it will be.

Despite the fire in the blue room last year a visit is a must if you are in Eastbourne. The whole place screams Victorian. Great place to go to.

Love walking on the pier and watching the man making glass animals is a favourite childhood memory of mine. Also the thrill of winning a few pennies on the amusement,s. Do hope it's fully restored after the recent fire.

Probably worth avoiding the pier at the present time other than for a stroll. Although the tea-rooms and chippy are open, the middle section (where the amusement arcade was housed) is undergoing post-fire reinstatement works.

We had to see the fire damaged pier. We were sad to see it but loved the way the hoarding round the burnt part had portholes to allow us to see the damage and what was being done.

Nothing open on a cold Monday in early February but still worth a look
