Very nice place with a lot of shops and it speciality...1st electric train in the UK
World's oldest continuously operational pier train is the main attraction. The pier itself is in dire need of maintenance and the views aren't that great unless you really like looking at boats.
Fantastic value to access the pier and ride the train. Incredible to think the train had been running so long. Also, the messages on the planks were moving. First time I'd seen something like this done - a nice idea!
