What is left of the pier today is essentially a covered amusement complex extending a short distance onto the beach, but the location and the name preserve the shape of the Victorian original. Inside, you will find an arcade, a small bowling alley, a ten-pin bar, soft play for kids, and the usual seaside fare of doughnuts and slush puppies.
It still functions as the centre of the seafront, and the open-air decking on the seaward side is one of the better spots to look back along the beach in either direction. There are talks every decade or two of extending the pier back to its original length, but nothing ever quite happens. Free to enter; you pay only for what you eat, ride, or play.
