Nice place to visit with family, there is parking by the beachfront that is paid but fair prices and free after 6pm. Must be careful as it is a pebble and stone beach not sand. Good food options (fish and chips, ice cream, donuts, gyros) and multiple arcades on the pier

Eastbourne Pier is in East Sussex County, United Kingdom. I was utterly impressed during my visit there. You can visit this very well-maintained, free-to-access beach in solitude, with friends, or with family. Regardless of whom you visit the beach with, you will definitely enjoy your time here. The scenery is awesome, and the relatively calm sea is soothing and therapeutic. I never wanted to leave.Some of the features and highlights:The coastline is very neat.Amusement Arcade Center with modern and classic games that are family-friendly.Nice live music.I saw some fishermen who spent hours before catching a fish.Numerous restaurants, variety shops, and coffee shops. I enjoyed the ice cream that I bought as well as the cake. By the way, you can't bring your meals as you need to patronize the vendors on site.More than enough seats along the pier.You can also go on paid sightseeing of Eastbourne on the available coach.Beware of the pebbled shore so that you won't twist your ankle. Crossing the very busy road may be tricky for the elderly or kids. I advise you to bring your picnic mat to cushion the harshness of the stones on your bottom. The stones are smooth but not comfortable.

Eastbourne pier is absolutely stunning with its charming seaside. It's like a little piece of the Mediterranean right in the UK. The pier boasts a variety of shops, arcades, restaurants, souvenir shops, and attractions to explore. There are activities for kids and plenty of fun for adults too. It's a wonderful place to spend time while enjoying the sea breeze!

Eastbourne Pier in the UK is a delightful place to relax and take in stunning views. When I visited yesterday, I found it to be a charming spot, perfect for unwinding. The pier offers a picturesque setting, with beautiful vistas over the sea and surrounding coastline. One of the highlights of my visit was the friendly and cheerful local people. Their infectious good humor and positive energy made the experience even more enjoyable. It's a place where you can easily feel uplifted by the welcoming atmosphere and the smiles of those around you.

Went to Eastbourne for 2 nights stayed at the strand hotel. Very comfortable amazing views of the sea front. No breakfast but there are plenty of places on the front to have breakfast. Highly recommended. The pier music is incredible. Room in hotel was very comfortable, clean and definitely stay there again. Please go and visit.

My husband took our daughter there for a walk and won a toy at the arcade which made her day! The weather was fantastic yesterday so we managed to get some good photos with pinky sky at the background. It's windy near the sea so do layer up even on a summer day
