Southwold Pier is a pier in the coastal town of Southwold in the English county of Suffolk. It is on the northern edge of the town and extends 190 metres (620 ft) into the North Sea.

Whilst many English seaside piers are in decline, Southwold Pier is enjoying renewed popularity.[1] It includes a collection of modern coin-operated novelty machines designed and constructed by the inventor Tim Hunkin.
