Hastings Pier in Hastings

The Pier was closed. Not sure if it was closed because of the bad weather or maybe end of summer season. If you're planning on a visit, I suggest you make enquiries. The White Rock Theatre and the adjacent White Rock Hotel are still open for business.

Sadly closed out for winter but nice puer with small basic tearoom

Very good views of the white cliffs of dover, not a great deal on there but nice to spend half hour walking on. Free to get on

We went here on a Saturday. The pier was half closed off, and every shop and stall was closed. Save yourself a disappointment and go a bit further up to the big carpark by the Adventure Golf, as there is so much more to enjoy there

Great places to eat on the pier.

Hastings is a place where I feel like I'm in an Agatha Christy novel. Looking at the buildings built along the waterfront, I have the impression that ancient elites rested here. A walk along the promenade is very pleasant. The beach is huge, all rocky, the sound of the stones when the water takes them stays in your ears for a long time. You can find beautiful shell specimens there. There are plenty of small places where you can relax or warm up. Do you want to feel like you're on the French Riviera in England? This place is perfect for that!!!! If you want to feel the atmosphere of San Francisco and see the Victorian villas built on the slopes of the streets leading down towards the endless water, I recommend going deeper into the city or rather up 😉 This place made a huge impression on me 16 years ago. I always wanted to come back here and I did :)

It is a beautiful place on the seashore, full of details and the people are very friendly and it is very beautiful any day of the year

Had an amazing relaxed time on the pier with samphire saunas, super friendly lady on reception, so chilled and great experience

We visited on a wonderfully sunny day, everything was closed apart from the bar on the pier. It's a sad place, it feels like a very deprived area. However the sea looked really inviting but I didn't have my dipping gear with me!

Was a little sad spoke to some vendors on the pier and said that the leaseholder has increased their rent, there was barely anyone around that day. No idea how these small businesses are able to make money. We came for a weekend get away from London. The beaches were nice, but it wasn’t buzzing. That’s probably why these business owners are struggling. The council and the pier owners should be working together to put Hastings on the Map.

Fun little pier, Rum shed bar with roof terrace. Very nice.

The renovation of the pier,after a devastating fire, won a major design award.

The Casa de Pier serves great food with great service, and the view of the sunset is spectacular. However, the pier itself is a slum. The horrible temporary fencing makes it look like a temporary internment camp. It's a lost opportunity and that's tragic for Hastings.

I love a pier, being able to walk out to sea. How many piers have a couple of saunas on them? And a huge open-air music venue. At low tide the underside is beautiful.

Bit quiet but then it was just after the children had gone back to school.

This was a nice pet to walk down

Glad they rebuilt it but not the same. No arcades or areas to get out if the British weather. Went out of season ie September weekday and everything but a coffee truck and the rum shack was closed. The end of the pier was out of bounds due to a stage set up. All very boring and lifeless.

Lovely time watching the sunset from the pier

Very disappointed can't walk along to the end,having said that the cafe was lovely

Always visit here when in Hastings

Great view? would be if there weren't chemical toilets blocking the view all summer. What a disappointment!

Great vibes, music and sunshine upstairs at the Rum Shack..

A fun place to take a stroll. Get bus 99 to Hastings and off bus at pier. Walk to the fisherman’s village.

Nice to have a stroll on the pier and watch the world go by

The end was closed off with scaffolding, fences and chemi- toilets post-event. Too bad as half the memorial plaques were inaccessible. Don't know why they keep it blocked off like that when there's nothing happening other than the restless sea.

Nice base to visit Hastings & Eastbourne with bus service nearby. Places to eat on site along with small shop & plenty of places for kids to keep them busy.

Over priced beer waste of a day out never going again

Wish I’d have seen the Jimi Hendrix experience play here in 67. What a great place the UK was back then before our governments ruined the country and then Boris took us out of the European Union, Farage with his lies. Corrupt greedy politicians that do nothing for the people and just want to make their money and disappear. Sadly the seaside resorts are abandoned and things like Hastings pier get sabotaged. Thanks government for ruining our country.

Visited the first week in September and all I can say is that this is the most depressing pier. Most old piers are a nice place for a stroll and a view. This one is obviously just there to make money during the summer. Once the kids are back at school everything shuts down. I feel sorry for the locals and those who visit out of season.

Had a great coffee and cake at the cafe. Not much else to the pier tho.

Great pier,lovely snd clean great attractions for the kide

It wasn't very busy but a nice Pier, there was a funfair on the Pier and a couple of places to eat but it's now the end of the season so probably the reason it was quiet.

Nice clean beach, a must for holiday

The pier is nice, unfortunately ran by out of town cowboys who have no care for Hastings or the people of Hastings. All the events are badly organised with poor sound, acts that don't turn up, no proper pourable beer, expensive low quality drinks. The pier needs to be ran by people who have love for the town not a pair of chancers

Was far to windy to walk out on the pier.

Hal the pier closed off nothing open except coffee shop

It would be nice to see more business / entertainment on hastings pier ‼️nice view though

The event I attended was poorly organized, far to many people and the acts listed were not all present. There was also a long time between acts which was boring. Not much choice of food .

Great entertainment,bit pricey tho

A complete 50/50 experience, the act was sensational (we went to the lookalike night), so they are getting the difficult things spot on. However, it's like they try to muck up the basics. They ran out of draught at 3pm (event was 12-10). Toilets at the front were locked and urinals that were there in the past had gone, doubling the toilet queue. By 5, they only had warm cans of lager which at £6.50 a go, isn't ok. If I went to a restaurant and the food was cold I'd send it back, but the pier seems to think warm beer is perfectly acceptable 🤔. Security was off the charts, a lady in front of me had wine gums confiscated, and at one point there were 6 or 7 surrounding a lady in her 80's who had put her chair down in a place they didn't like. I had a good night, but it could so easily have been an outstanding night.

Attended look a likes festival on the pier. Great entertainment, queuing wasn't too bad. Downside chairs were not allowed despite people being allowed to take them in mid way through show, drinks very expense around 10 gbp per pint. Could not leave and re-enter venue. Parking located underground. Fish and chips available eat in pizzeria or take away. Quite expensive to eat in. If pizza and fish and chips is not your thing there is also another restaurant selling burgers etc. In the festival there was also food stalls but these were much more expensive for example 5 gbp for candy floss.

Absolute joke, skiddle and partners are nothing more than scammers. I will never support Hastings pier events in the future, which is a real shame as I'm a Hastings resident. The guys on the door were very polite and look like they've been lied to or part of the scam. Disgusting organisation and to use the word amateur would be a compliment.

As a pier not the best.not much on it it's a shame as the old pier was nice and interesting

The weather was nice when we went there so it was an enjoyable experience. The seaside was bustling with life and activities.

Windy pier without many nice things. The whole thing looks quite shabby.

Must go to the Rum Shack. Nice cocktail and great server

Sadly run down, mismanaged and neglected. You can't even walk to the end of it to admire the views.

Only partially refurbished but so far so good. Lovely coffee shop/bar at the entrance

So far I've waited 50 minutes for a drink at the bar still got several customers infront of me.... missed half the show because of queuing at the bar. I am very unimpressed by this And will be writing a strongly worded letter to express this

Well run event and great performance by the Brand New Heavies

Quite run down. Not as good as Eastbourne Pier down the road.

Great location for a nice day out

Just love this place in the summer especially the rum shed

Hastings is OK, went for a fantastic concert on the pier though and the Rum shack sold great drinks..

Pier with great restaurant, street food and rides for the little ones. Take a leisurely stroll and enjoy Hastings Pier 🥰 Photos with a view from the pier:

Most if the areas were closed, nothing special

The pier is nice enough. Prices are stupid but is what it is. Security only ever checks males for events never females which is a bit odd.

Had a nice time with a beer and sat in the sun

Such a great pie to visit to chill out on

Very dismal, very little open, August '24

Lovely place, 101%worth to visit.

Bit run down but ok for a day visit in the summer ☀️

Not a traditional pier, most of it was closed, we felt it was a tad expensive, 1scoop ice cream cone £3.50 ,2 lattes in small cups lukewarm £8

Great beach and pure swimming pleasure

A different place to spend some time walking, having a drink.... Hastings is a place on the South Coast to visit in a quiet way and rest.

If you’ve been to Brighton Pier, you can skip this. It’s almost identical to Brighton.

Lovely atmosphere great bars and nibbles was a wonderful experience

This is so beautiful place and suitable for fun

Prices on the pier are a bit extortionate but on a lovely sunny evening it is very relaxing

Mostly closed due to work being carried out

I don't really know what they do there. It's probably meant for children.

Very special for a special city

Has obviously seen better times but it allows you to walk out and look back at the Hastings seafront.

It's a pier, nothing new or special. Went in the Burger hut and I wouldn't go back in there ever again. Food was overpriced and very much average, mass produced off the shelf bun. Got our order wrong.

Good views both sides of the water though it is falling apart a bit

Had a brilliant time in the fan zone watching England hopefully bringing it home, great place to watch football

When we arrived at the pier there was a casually dressed man trading cigarettes with someone. He then asked to see in my carrier bag. He didn't identify himself but I assumed he was something to do with security. He said I couldn't go onto the pier with half a 500ml bottle of Ribena. He didn't explain why. We decided not to bother if I had to ditch my drink. It was a hot day and I needed it. So we didn't get onto the pier to see it. I have never been refused access to a pier in the UK before. I didn't even know members of the public could be denied access to a pier. There was no signage at all at the entrance to the pier so I have no idea what he was doing.

Lovely little pier with some fun rides and nice vendors happy to help us. Nice food huts too :)

Went to the 90s baby event on the pier. The event was awesome

Quiet when we were there and not much on offer. Surrounded by stoney beaches, but close to the town, which is a good place to visit.

It was ok used to better. Went to have a pint in the sun. Was quiet but none of the lagers on the pumps where available had others hooked up.

Unfortunately was football day so half the pier was closed off. Unable to give opinion because of this

A bar and a few kids merry go rounds only on the pier

Lovely piece of history that has unfortunately been victim to fire in its past. Now home to a couple of places to eat and enjoy the sea air. Not quite as it once was, it’s free to go on, so use it or lose it!

80% Of this place is blocked by personal owners We can't enjoy the actual sea view as we can only go half the way

Modern, clean, amenities available with food and drink bar. Children's rides available. Venues available on certain dates by organisers with amenities and security.

The street food on the pier was great. There's lots of choice with various cuisines available.

Everything closed, but a nice walk.

Attended garage nation on the pier yesterday the events they do are amazing

A lovely sunny afternoon stroll on the pier, Nothing special open, coffee shack and BBQ restaurant. Nice view though...

We visited the pier on a rainy weekday, and even if the amusement park was closed and the half end of the pier was fenced (renovation works ? Weather ?), it is a good place to enjoy the view of the city and the sea. You can have a drink at the café located at the entrance, a perfect indoor spot to warm you up when it's windy and raining.

Being honest, the pier was an absolute dive when we went. The ice cream shop was brilliant and the chap in there lovely. Nice view off the side but the rest of it was a barron waste of trash and closed stalls.

Sadly, the pier could do with some investment and a refurb. Organisation of the event would also benefit from some re consideration.

Very good place to visit , can't fault it , interesting facts ,

Stopped here for some lunch at one of the food stalls. Plenty of choice in cuisine, very good food.

Love this Pier great food, bar and restaurant. My daughter loves trampolining there and other rides. Had a drink up on the terrace of French restaurant which had fabulous views 😎

The Pier is close to the station, and well built. The people in the cafe and restaurant were friendly and nice. I came for the Reggae festival which I enjoyed, however (not related to the Pier) the sound system wasn't setup to be loud enough for everyone to hear and so I left early. I liked Hastings, and it's Pier. Good vibes.

We went to the arcade for about half an hour, which was fun. Quite a lot of the pier was closed for 5pm on a Friday though.

Went to reggae in Hastings on the Pier. Was OK I suppose , nothing to write home about .! Brought vip tickets , very disappointed as music was distant, no speakers up there, couldn't see anything either. 2 people at the bars , long old ques and toilets ridiculous. V I P or normal.. jokes!! Couldn't leave the Pier to get my jacket from car so.... don't rate it!

Obviously a fantastic location 👏 but the food was fantastic also so a lovely place to be 😃
