The Camera Obscura on the Pier was built in 1901 and has been a popular feature for many years. During the Second World the camera was almost destroyed so that it didn't fall into enemy hands. You can now witness this fantastic original 360 degrees Victorian projector in all its former glory - it has recently been restored and is waiting to give you a magical view of the seafront.

One event which is to take place at the pier is the popular raft race competition, teams battling it out to make a raft which will stay afloat around the pier, it is a great day out for all ages.
