Seafront views / DEAL

Deal Pier

Walk out above the water and turn back towards Deal’s line of seafront buildings. The pier is particularly useful for getting a sense of the town before exploring its narrower streets. There is room for a short pause and a view without booking another attraction; a meal at the far end is an optional extra.

Before you go

The pier can close in poor weather. Check the gate notices and leave café plans flexible rather than treating the walk as guaranteed.
