When I approach a pier, I expect to see an arcade on there and some adventure mini golf. One could walk out onto the pier and look out into the horizon at the ocean beyond. You could sit at a café and look out at the sea while you eat your chips with coffee.
I wonder what pier is the best? There are so many peirs out there that I have never seen before. Perhaps I could do some research on British piers.
I will peer into the online brochures, excuse the pun.
