Was Brighton’s second pier. Now just the skeleton remains, though you can often see cormorants nesting and using it to fish from.
Worth a pretty photo if you’re visiting (it’s opposite the i360) and about 10-15 mins walk from Brighton pier.
This is a place to see the most beautiful sunsets, the remnants of a once busy pier and the peaceful sounds of the tide lapping on the shore. I sat here for hours reading as the tide came in and I can’t have felt more at peace 🥺 I travelled here from London for the day to escape the business and get
Ghostly remains of a once grand Victorian pier, destroyed by fire in 2003 and now home to seabirds and marine life. An ideal place to take some dramatic photos, best seen at sunset.
Went on a week day where there wasn’t much people. A very beautiful beach. There is only remaining parts of this West Pier that was built in 1860s. History states that this was closed to the public in 1975. A fire in 2003 damaged the remaining building and only. Partial metal framework exists. Defin
Hugely popular location for taking seascape photos of the derelict pier. Slowly this structure is slipping away into the sea. Aim to arrive for sunrise or sunset to enjoy stunning views. This is also a quieter part of the beach to chill in Summer.
The West Pier Centre is under the arches on the East Square next to the I360. Go visit, great place to learn about the heritage of the West Pier and exciting future projects. There is also a interesting and beautiful selection of art prints, books and more for sale. Very helpful volunteers.
One of the best beaches… not too busy not too calm just the right way. Do have the iconic pier with games and food.
A photographer's dream, the West Pier always has something to offer. Murmurating starlings in the Spring, beautiful silhouetted sunsets and even the odd seal! It can be dangerous to swimmers and small craft so beware. Otherwise it's a great spot to just relax and take in some amazing views!
This monument is the rest of former pier, very photogenic place in the seafront of Brighton
I came here in the summer, the weather was nice and the beach was clean
Was there for the first time for the Brighton Marathon and it was beautiful event, very well organised!
It’s strangely beautiful, so glad they didn’t remove it, looks great at sunset as you can see. The recovered piers arranged as a wave on shore are fun too. The view from the top of the i360 is great
The West Pier was the finest pier in the UK by a very wide margin, with the most elegant pavilions, the best ornamentation, and just the right amount of profitable amusements of the period.
The pier began as a straightforward promenading pier, with seating and sheltering screens, being a venue regar
Remains of a pier that has been damaged at various points over the last few decades, yet parts of it seem determined to remain to give an idea of the old pier, and the entrance building on the promenade still stands. The I360 next to it is supposedly as tall as the pier was long
It has been blown up. Caught fire hit by lightening and all that is left is this metal skeleton. I looked at pictures of it in its heyday and it was amazing a real magical place and in my mind better than the one thats still standing. I ate a vegan chicken burger looking at it and a fox in the dark
Good photos can be had here with a good spot to see on the beach and from beyond, nice spot down spot to be found here as on sunny days lots of views and beach sit down locations can be had, many times can be had here in the good weather as well when on the beach.
A stunning sight to go and look at whilst making your way along the beach!! Only the metal structure remains of the pier after a fire in 2003, its just amazing to think what it once was.
There are pebbles, and there are more pebbles. Could get a bit busy and crowded at peak times/season. Quite a few nice live music venues nearby as well as descent bars and restaurants.
