Felixstowe is Suffolk’s classic seaside resort: colourful beach huts, Victorian gardens, and a long promenade sweeping from the North Sea cliffs down to the Deben estuary. It’s the most built-up place on the Suffolk Coast Path — a town where walkers can rest, refuel, and reconnect after days of quieter coast and remote trail.
Though best known for its family beach and busy port, Felixstowe has plenty for walkers. There’s a wide seaside path ideal for easygoing strolls, clifftop walks in the quieter north end, and estuary-edge rambles around Felixstowe Ferry, where a seasonal foot ferry links across to Bawdsey. The sea air, sunshine, and convenience make it a refreshing spot to start or end your journey.
