ABOUT THE GUIDE

A fresh look at
a much-loved landmark.

HastingsPier.org.uk is an independent visitor guide to Hastings Pier and the surrounding seafront.

Independent. Clearly sourced.

This website is not operated by Hastings Pier, its owner, its businesses, Hastings Borough Council or the regional tourism board. We do not sell pier tickets, take restaurant bookings or manage the pier’s opening arrangements.

The guide brings together practical visitor information, original editorial writing and credited archive photography. We link to source organisations and businesses so you can check details directly. The site was researched on 7 November 2026; opening arrangements and listings may change.
