The new pier is much nicer than the old one. There are loads of games of all different types and doesn't feel as dated as the pier used to. All looks much more modern, clean and organised. Really lovely cafe at the back, not your average seaside fish and chips type place also looks out over the beach (can be hired as a function room as well).

I have been before and after the pier burnt down, and I have to say that after is much better than before! It looks much more up to date, there are loads of things to do, including go karting over two floors! You have the traditional games, 2ps etc, as well as more modern racing games. You can still collect tickets for prizes and win cuddly toys! the Edwardian Cafe at the back is amazing as well!
The pier is nearing completion after a major fire in 2008. It looks amazing already and I had a sneak preview inside the other day. It is coming along nicely and with the wide range of attractions and rides planned for when it opens this summer, I think it will be great for the whole family.
