Walk a little further down the beach, past SEA LIFE Blackpool and Madame Tussauds, and you’ll reach the Central Pier. Its most striking feature is its 108ft-high ferris wheel, which gives you a unique perspective of Blackpool and affords superb views across the Irish Sea. The Central Pier is extremely family-friendly, with arcade games, a funfair and the popular Funhouse Family Bar.

The success of the North Pier prompted the formation of the Blackpool South Jetty Company one year later in 1864. Impressed with the construction of Blackpool Pier (North Pier), the company hired the same contractor, Richard Laidlaw and Son of Glasgow for the project. When the pier was opened on 30 May 1868, it was 503 yards in length, 131 yards of which was a landing jetty for use at low tide. From the start, the new pier's emphasis was on fun rather than the genteel relaxation provided at North Pier. Today it offers attractions, amusements, shows and shopping.
