Worthing Pier - Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

Worthing Pier

This is on Worthing beach. There's a Worthing Beach Barbados and this is just as nice. I'll try to…read moresay with a straight face. Walk on the pier in the summer, this is living! It's not very long and there's not that much to do on it, but I just love walking on a pier. There's a small art instalment, a very stuffy arcade with no a/c, and a restaurant at the end, newly renovated with big glass windows. You can go fish on the metal scaffolding hanging off the pier and hope to get lucky. No cost to enter, toilets by the street.

Worthing Pier is the most notable attraction on Worthing's long but otherwise rather quiet…read moreseafront. It is a grade-II listed building. Like many piers, it has had an eventful past. Built in 1862, the pier partly collapsed in a great storm in 1913, isolating the pavilion at the seaward end. The land-side North Pavilion was built by Adshead & Ramsey in 1926 after the Borough Council acquired the pier, but disaster struck again in 1933 when a fire destroyed the original pier-end South Pavilion. However, the replacement Art Deco building of 1935 and the smaller central Pavilion are among the best preserved of their type. The pier is 300m (984ft) long, and there are glazed art-deco style windbreaks along its whole length. Like the rest of Worthing, the attractions along the pier are low-key: the land-end pavilion is a 1,000-seat theatre used for concerts and summer shows, and includes a small café; the Central Pavilion is used as an amusement arcade, and the South Pavilion is used as a nightclub (returning from this at 3am on a stormy winter's night, after a few bevvies, must be some experience). There are a few kiosks along its length, selling the requisite fish & chips and ice creams. The seaward end still has its landing stages, and is visited several times a year by coastal passenger ships such as the Paddle Steamer Waverly and the MV Balmoral, on short south-coast pleasure trips. For the rest of the year, is pier is busy with dozens of anglers of all ages. The pier is currently undergoing a 15-year restoration programme, and in 2006 won the 'Pier of the Year' award for this work. Diving and jumping from the pier is forbidden. However, in July 2008 the annual 'Birdman' event was due to be held here (having moved here from Bognor Regis pier). This involves people in costumes and crazy 'flying machines' jumping, running or cycling off the end, with prizes for the furthest 'flight' and the wackiest outfits. However, the event had to be cancelled at the last minute, thanks to the unseasonably stormy weather. Let's hope things are kinder in 2009
