Construction of Eastbourne Pier began in April 1866 and was completed in 1872. The pier entrance was originally built on the lower promenade. However, it was swept away during rough storms in 1877 and rebuilt at a higher level. In 1888, a 400-seater domed pavilion was built and a 1000-seater theatre was added two years later.

During the Second World War, decking was removed to host machine guns to provide a useful advantage point to repel enemy landings. In December 1942, an exploding mine caused extensive damage to the pier.

The theatre was destroyed by a fire in 1970 and was replaced with an evening entertainment venue that has since become home to Atlantis Nightclub and The Waterfront Cafe and Bar. In 2014, the pier caught fire again and had to be dismantled. After this, the open decking area was formed.
