It is one of the city's most iconic landmarks, combining a variety of leisure activities with culinary experiences aimed primarily at families, tourists, and day visitors. The historic pier, originally built in 1881, has evolved over time from a simple promenade to a lively place that blends dining, entertainment, and the charm of a traditional British seaside resort.
