Felixstowe is a much loved, traditional seaside resort known for its promenade and Blue Flag quality sand and shingle beach which have both been beautifully restored in 2017, perfectly kept seafront gardens with a new bandstand and water fountain offering ocean views, and a variety of seaside attractions. The pier has been brought back to life with a modern twist with eating areas, wine bars, outside seating all around the pier and, occasionally, live music. The beach huts in all their pretty glory have been given a new lease of life with their lovely neutral traditional seaside colours.
Felixstowe is also home to the UK’s largest, and Europe’s busiest, container port and the viewing area at Landguard offers great views of ships coming into the port and here too, are the Landguard Bird Observatory and Landguard Peninsular nature reserves. There is a foot and cycle ferry crossing between Felixstowe and Harwich.
North of the town centre is the fishing village of Old Felixstowe with its gallery, golf course and riverside inns. The area between Manor End and Cobbold’s Point is Felixstowe’s main seafront and can be explored along a two mile long promenade. Further along the promenade you come across Felixstowe’s colourful and intriguing Seafront Gardens which start beside the Town Hall and stretch for a mile along the promenade and are well worth exploring.
The town itself has a wide range of shops, eateries, pubs, churches, parks, recreational facilities, a library and a railway station.
