About Rye Pier
Sponge-encrusted pylons shelter seahorses, while the sandy bottom is frequented by stingrays, spider crabs and several octopus species. Night dives can reveal squid, nudibranchs and additional octopus among the pier's smaller marine life.
Access — entry & exit
Entry can either be from the lower landing near the end of Rye Pier or straight off the beach. Straight off the beach means crossing a large sandbank. When entering or exiting via the beach it's better to use the east side of the pier where there is a pathway with handrails to help you make your way between the beach and the car park.
