South Pier
A thrill-ride pier opposite Pleasure Beach, with fast rides and arcades; the shortest of Blackpool's three piers.
South Pier opened in 1893 under the name Victoria Pier. At about 150 m long, it is the shortest of Blackpool's three piers. Today it is mainly about rides, including a high-altitude launch ride, spinning chair rides and children's attractions. It's a good stop while exploring Pleasure Beach or Sandcastle Waterpark. Entry is free, rides are charged per ride, and some attractions close in winter.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00 until evening (varies by season)
