- Andy-S60London, United Kingdom1,964 contributionsWho doesn’t love a Pier? !!I certainly do. This one is not exceptional, and they were doing quite a lot of rebuilding when we visited today, but that’s good to see ... keeping it safe and secure for the future. Many fishermen were enjoying a lazy afternoon’s sport, and the views back to the coastline were excellent. The colourful shadows cast by the stained glass were unique to any pier as far as I know. Every noticeboard seems to mention that it was Pier Of The Year in 2006, so they’re clearly very proud of that. A shame it’s missed out over the last 14 years, but I guess these awards have to be rationed out across the country!Visited August 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten August 11, 2020
- Paul034Walton-On-Thames, United Kingdom181 contributionsVery Nice PierA nice pier in a nice seaside town. In August 2020 there was a lot of maintennace going on to replace the wooden decking, so the pier was closed about half-way along. Free entry, which is nice. Good covid 19 safety measures in place with one way system in operation and lots of signs reminding visitors about social distancing. There is an amusemenst arcade half way along. There are good clean toilets at the entrance. There are a couple of ice-cream shacks which also do coffee and hot drinks at the entrance to the pier. Free fishing is allowed in certain areas which are well marked, there is also a lower deck for anglers to use but this was closed when we visited due to the maintenance work. Maximum 2 rods per person. Well worth a visit.Visited August 2020Written August 22, 2020
- LambiguityLancing, United Kingdom281 contributionsA very leisurely walk at any time of the yearThis is currently the Pier Societys Pier of the Year (having been runner up for a few years). Whilst it does have an amusement arcade, the main attraction is a pleasant walk to the end of the pier offering a lovely view of the Worthing seafront and then east towards Brighton (and Beachy Head on a good day) and east towards Portsmouth (and the Ilse of Wight on a good day). Currently the cafe at the end of the pier is under going refurbishment following a change of ownership but a drink and/or ice cream can usually be picked up at the kiosk mid-way. Plenty of seats to sit and chill although on a sunny day competition is fierce. If you come to Worthing, take some time to wander up and down the pier.Visited March 2020Written March 27, 2020

The utterly unique and beautiful Windows on the Pier, designed and hand-crafted by Siobhan Jones, working from The Forge Gallery in Worthing, make this the most stunning pier in the world.
Each window, and there are nearly 200 completed, is a tribute to a family member, a friend, or local or international organisations.
A visit to Worthing, without spending time admiring these original works of art, is a visit incomplete.

The pier is lovely - thankfully lacking in the tacky noisy tourist traps of Brighton pier.
The stained glass art wall is beautiful and gives insight into the local community.
There’s a separate area for people fishing.
Highly recommend a visit.

On one of the very rare sunny
days we've had recently we decided to take a stroll along the pier. Really, the main reason we wanted to do that was to look at all the lovely glass panels erected by local charities and in remembrance of loved ones. It's a really great idea and with the sun shining through they look beautiful. Other than that I can't say there is anything worthwhile to see or do unless you are a fisherman or you enjoy fresh air, or like the history of piers of which very few remain.

First time to visit.
It has it's own characteristic which sets it apart from the rest we have been to.
The day was definitely cold and windy but the wall in the middle of the pier with the glass designs helped us walk along. It would have been too cold and windy to walk without it.
Hope the local government would help rejuvenate the place.

Great stroll out over the waves - there is always something special about a pier. We loved the glass panels with all the different organisations and people represented, as well as the photographs.
Didn't go into the amusements - perhaps next time we visit when we have more time.

The pier is part of our heritage and is being slowly repainted. It was overall found to be is pretty good condition and won pier of the year in 2006. Not a great deal to do on there apart from great views across the sea to the wind farms and along the coast. No charges for entering the pier either so if you're on a budget it is a nice hour to spend chilling out. The night club at the end is closed now so I am not sure what that will be used for.

The pier was one way, due to Covid & this made me feel very safe.
The restaurant is being refurbished, but the amusement arcade is open.
There are stained glass windows all the way along the middle & they're amazing. They've been designed by locals & some are in memory of loved ones, which is really nice to see. Some look like they've been made by children & are just beautiful.

Enjoyable stroll today along this historic pier. Renovation work is underway so our visit was limited to a circular walk. Some interesting artwork on display particularly fused glass panels from local community groups.

The pier is currently undergoing renovation and the restaurant at the end is closed. However, it’s still worth going on it for a bracing walk. There is a one-way system in place which works well. The gallery of stained glass illustrations is a great addition

i wonder where the monkeys band has gone? Perhaps it could be something for the Repair Shop? I know it was taken away possibly for repair, but where is it now? I took this up with Paul Holden of the Worthing Journal some years ago, but what is the situation now, where is the monkeys band and would it be considered for a project for the repair shop.
Hi is there rides on the pier?

Not on the Worthing pier. It is a lot older and more special it's mainly the arcade in middle of the pier and restaurant at the end :) go to the Brighton pier if you want rides & if you dare!!! 😵
