Herne Bay Pier

A lovely old fashioned pier, plenty to see and do, plenty of parking nearby. Would highly recommend to all, we will be back 👍

A nice little day trip, I'd say better for younger children or just solo to sit on the stones and read a book.

Nice seaside

So much for kids of all ages to do. Had a great day crabbing, arcades, chilling on beach and a tasty lunch.

Visited for the first time and only for a few hours. But parking was easy and ample, clean, and lots to do. I took my son to.tje beach, pier area and it's a typical tourist style set up but I liked there was good seating, public toilets etc a short visit but I live in an area by the sea where parking is an issue and there's no public toilets so the comparison was good

Had the best portion of chips on the pier . It was cip stand near carousel.

Liked the subdued but nice pier

This has a special place in my heart after I got married on the pier at Beach Hut Weddings in June 2024!

First time in Herne bay and what a lovely place

Fun fair wasn't all opened as early in the season. But the cafes, pub, fish and chips and pizza places are amazing. We had a nice pot of tea and toasted tea cakes from the cafe. Beautiful and little tiny old-fashioned cups. The pop-up shops are lovely, lots to buy from. I always buy something from them every time I go. But don't forget there is more to explore in Herne Bay than the pier, too. Lots for everyone to do, all ages.

Nice pier few pop up shops and fair ground rides. Unfortunately only 2 shops and the coffee shop open when we were there.

Great place to visit, not too busy, parking can be tricky.

In the summer, the small funfair is a great addition, making it an exciting trip out for families with children. The bright rides and games bring extra energy to the pier, creating a lively seaside experience. Beyond the pier, the vast stretches of beach make for a wonderful day out, whether you're sunbathing, paddling in the sea, or just taking a relaxing walk along the shore. Herne Bay Pier is a must-visit for a classic British seaside experience!

Loads of Nik knack shops a mini pub and eateries on the pier which are not to bad price wise Then you get to the mini fairground where you buy 20 tokens and get 5 free for £20 but when you work it out it's not good value as the rides vary between 3&5 min and are either 2,3 or 5 tokens

Beautiful old pier. Free to just walk along and admire the views. There are plenty of eateries and shop huts to browse too.

Beer on the pier good food as well all good

what a wonderful pier! lots of little shack type shops selling craft and art bits etc. cafe, restaurant and bar to cater for adults and some small amusements for the little ones. Great place to visit!

We only came to Herne Bay to visit Penfold reptiles but headed to the seafront to use the public toilets as we were a while away from home. I'm so glad we did. We had a lovely walk along the beach and pier, stopped for some freshly made doughnuts and chips. Played in the arcades, beach and wonderful beach front play park. Lots of facilities including a couple of beach front showers. Great parking and very accessible for wheel chair users and we had the dog with us and although she had to be kept on the lead at all times if was a really nice place to visit with the dog in tow. The kids loved it, as did we and we can't wait to come back in the future, especially the summer months.

The pier hosts some great events throughout the year. Beervon the pier a must for a pint or 2.

The sea shells natural pier and seaside walk are lovely and peaceful. Very quiet and safe town. The townhouses are a great attraction, and the white pebbles are amazing.

The kids love it here. When the shops are open it's great.

Not to busy on the day we were there. Nice to be somewhere which still has character about it.

So so clean

I liked it there didn't go all the way along the front but did some and would like to go back to have more of a look

Fantastic sunny afternoon in February! Lovely craft stalls open; local food and drink. Best ever views. Quirky and wonderful.

Great place for a stroll. Few places open. Saw some Great Cormorants and European Shags on the far pier had to use long lens to see them and binoculars helped.

Nice chilly walk along seafront and pier

Finally got to visit Jacob's Selling shed and got a pair of cushions that we'd admired on Facebook. Lots more in offer too!

Love Herne Bay in general and a stroll on the pier is a great starting point to really explore. Great views and sets you up for a cliff walk to Reculver if your feeling brave.

Pier on a misty day

Nice pier to take a stroll along
