This pier, built on stilts in Carrasqueira, is considered a work-of-art of popular architecture. It was built in the 1950s and 60s on irregular wooden stilts, apparently fragile, where the local fishing boats dock.

In April 1865 The Eastbourne Pier Company was formed with a working capital of £15,000. Work began in April 1866; Four years later Lord Edward Cavendish opened the pier although it wasn’t completed until 1872.
The pier is 300 meters long and built on stilts, which rest in cups on the seabed allowing the whole structure to move during rough weather.
The piers entrance was originally built on the lower promenade but due to the rough storms in 1877 it was swept away; it was then rebuilt at a higher level. In 1888 a 400-seater domed pavilion was built and just two years later a 1000-seater theatre, Bar, Camera Obscura and Office Suite replaced it, that same year two saloons were built in the midway.
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 considerable damage to the pier and nearby hotels; it had been tied to the stanchions by the local police, who were under the mistaken impression that it was fitted with a safety device

Another from my 'Pink Pier' set earlier in the year. If all else fails I have a Clevedon sunset - never fails! So lucky to have this on my doorstep - every time I go the conditions are so different and the power of the local tides mean the beach is never quite the same each time as well as the different lighting and the position of the setting sun.

A panoramic perspective of Eastbourne Pier.
Luckily for me, most of the general public were on the pier itself, so I could take advantage of the open pebbled beach and capture this magnificent structure in all her regal beauty...
I hope you enjoy...

A delightful pier situated on the Bellarine Peninsula at St Leonards .A favourite spot for fishermen from all over the Bellarine.
Disused industrial pier at Hartlepool. A section has been removed to prevent access to the far end !
The fishing pier and arcade in Ocean Isle Beach is a favorite local attraction that is hard to miss. Located at the very end of Causeway Drive, the only route on and off the island, the pier is visible from virtually every stretch of beach along this small, seaside town. Known for its exceptional fishing, tasty local grill, and arcade that serves as a perfect distraction for young visitors, this complex has plenty of entertainment to keep everyone in the family smiling.

Manhattan Pier, Manhattan Beach, California.
Took this shot duing my trip to Southern California. Sky was kind of plain at sunset but this there was lot of water wave action around the pier.. Went under the pier, setup tripod and made several attempts to get the right shot.
