Eastbourne Pier Live Cam

Eastbourne Pier reaches out into the English Channel from the shingle beach, its dome painted gold above the decking. The seafront gardens and promenade run along the foot of the frame.

The pier opened in 1870 to a design by Eugenius Birch and stands on piles driven into the moving shingle. A fire in 2014 destroyed the arcade building in the middle, and the dome was gilded during the rebuilding that followed.

Shops, a cafe, tearooms and a bar occupy what remains of the structure. Eastbourne sits below the chalk of the South Downs in East Sussex, and the camera looks along the shore towards Beachy Head.
