Best Answer

The original pier, built in 1830, was built for landing goods and passengers from steamers and was 300ft (91m) long. This pier was badly damaged in a storm in the 1890s. In 1895, the Walton-on-the-Naze hotel and pier company opened a replacement pier 500ft longer than the original. Several extensions have increased the pier's length to 2,600ft (793m), the third longest in the UK.

Today, the pier remains as a tourist attraction, with amusements and fun-fair rides. It is also used for fishing.
