Relaxing few hours at Worthing seaside. It wasnt so crowded like Brighton. Lots of ice-cream options for kids and adults and parking availability wasnt too bad either. Pier has a restaurant that looked amazing from outside, not sure about the food and price but definitely enticing location... Pathway available for people who love to walk by the sea...

Fabulous yearly trip to Worthing with the kids. Hot weather, fab food (many cuisines to choose from) , fab drinks (both alcohol and alcohol free). Great view of the eclipse on Pebble beach. What's not to like! The locals are friendly too.

The pier was one of my highlights in Worthing. Loving the glass wind break double sided coloured picture glass panels .. definitely worth a look at them all. The view in the east at the coast is so wonderful and there is even a great diner at the end of the pier.

Really enjoyed visiting Worthing Pier. Beautiful sea views, relaxing atmosphere, and a great place for a peaceful walk. The pier is clean, well maintained, and perfect for spending time with family or friends. Especially lovely during sunset. One of the best spots to enjoy the seaside in Worthing. Highly recommended.

It's a free pier with art and a good vibe. Alot of the low reviews are for the restaurant?! And one person who gave it 1 star and said it was absolutly lovely! 🤣 Keep it free. 🤌 good arcade, full of old school machines and fun. Could do with some repairs (pictured!) But as there was bits of paint and wood on floor i think it has just happened? 🤔
