Premier Inn Felixstowe

Yes, Felixstowe is well worth a visit, especially if you're after a classic British seaside experience with a few extras. It’s got a long beach, a traditional promenade and colourful beach huts, but there’s more to it than just the sea. You can explore the beautifully landscaped Seafront Gardens, watch huge cargo ships come and go from the busy Port of Felixstowe, or take a peaceful walk up to Felixstowe Ferry at the quieter end of town. There’s plenty of space to relax, places to eat and drink and nearby attractions like Bawdsey Manor, which you can reach by foot ferry. Whether you’re coming for a day trip, weekend, or longer break, there’s plenty to keep both adults and kids happy. 

Felixstowe is best known as home to the UK’s busiest container port. The Port of Felixstowe handles millions of tonnes of cargo every year and plays a big role in international trade. The town is also famous as a Victorian and Edwardian seaside resort, with traditional beach huts, a long promenade and historic gardens built into the cliffs. 

Yes, Felixstowe is a proper seaside town with everything that goes with it. There’s a long beach (over four miles), a promenade lined with beach huts and cafes and a pier with amusements and places to eat. You’ll find plenty of places for fish and chips, ice cream and walks with sea views. It has that traditional coastal feel, but also a working port and quieter spots like Felixstowe Ferry, which gives it a slightly different atmosphere compared to other resort towns. 

You’ve got the colourful beach huts and pier you'd expect from a coastal town, but also the UK’s largest container port just down the coast – watching those huge ships glide by is something you don’t get everywhere. The Seafront Gardens, which stretch along the cliffs, are beautifully kept and full of interesting planting, historic shelters and little paths to explore. There’s a mix of old and new across town, from Edwardian buildings to newer attractions.
