FAQs
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.
Felixstowe’s a great spot for a relaxing seaside day out or short break. Start with a walk through the Seafront Gardens, set on the cliffs with landscaped paths, colourful flowers and historic features. Just below, the four-mile stretch of sand and shingle beach is perfect for paddling, relaxing, or grabbing an ice cream. The promenade is ideal for a stroll, lined with classic Edwardian architecture and rows of colourful beach huts. At the quieter northern end, head to Felixstowe Ferry, a small fishing and sailing hamlet where you can try crabbing or pick up fresh seafood. From there, take the foot ferry to Bawdsey Manor, a grand house with gardens and a fascinating WWII history as the world’s first operational radar station. Whether you're into coastal walks, a bit of history or just fancy some sea air, there’s plenty to enjoy in Felixstowe.
Yes, Felixstowe has a beach that’s a mix of sand and shingle. Some parts, especially near the town centre, are more pebbly, but you’ll find sandier sections further south and up near Felixstowe Ferry. When the tide is out, more sand is exposed across most of the beach, making it great for paddling or building sandcastles. The beach is wide and stretches for miles, with regular access points, seating and food kiosks along the promenade.
Yes, the town centre in Felixstowe is compact but well-equipped, and only a short walk from the beach. You’ll find a good mix of high street names, local shops, supermarkets and independent cafes and restaurants. There’s also a market on certain days, plus a cinema and leisure centre nearby. The main shopping area runs along Hamilton Road and stretches down to the seafront, so it’s easy to combine browsing the shops with a walk along the promenade or lunch by the sea.
Yes, Felixstowe has its own train station located close to the town centre and within walking distance of the beach. Trains run regularly to and from Ipswich, which connects to mainline services heading toward London, Norwich and other major destinations.
Felixstowe Pier is over 450 feet long and includes indoor amusements, places to eat and outdoor seating areas with great sea views. The original Victorian pier was much longer but was shortened in the 20th century. Today, it’s a fun place to spend some time, especially if you're with kids or just want to take in the view with a coffee or some classic seaside snacks.
