Lowestoft marks the end — or the beginning — of the Suffolk Coast Path, and stands as the easternmost point in the UK. This historic seaside town has long been shaped by the rhythms of fishing, shipbuilding, and sea air. Today, it offers a mix of quiet clifftop walking, expansive beaches, and a nostalgic coastal atmosphere perfect for walkers and slow travellers.
While often overlooked in favour of trendier spots to the south, Lowestoft rewards those who linger. Whether you’re arriving after a multi-day hike from Felixstowe or starting your coastal journey northward, the town offers a friendly place to rest your legs, watch the sea, and explore a stretch of shoreline where the light is famously wide and golden.
