Felixstowe seafront is one of the town’s most popular and recognisable features, attracting visitors throughout the year. With its long promenade, clean beach, and traditional seaside feel, it is an ideal place to spend time whether you are visiting for a day or staying longer.
The promenade runs alongside the coastline and is perfect for walking, cycling, or simply enjoying the fresh sea air. Benches along the route provide places to stop and take in the view, while cafés and kiosks offer refreshments during busier months. The promenade is flat and accessible, making it suitable for visitors of all ages.
Felixstowe beach is mainly shingle, which helps keep the water clear and the beach well maintained. It is popular with walkers, dog owners, and those looking for a quieter alternative to busier sandy beaches. At low tide, the shoreline opens up, creating space for longer walks along the water’s edge.
The pier area is a focal point of the seafront and offers classic seaside amusements and attractions. Felixstowe Pier https://www.felixstowepier.co.uk is especially popular with families and provides a lively contrast to the quieter stretches of promenade further along the coast.
At the southern end of the seafront lies Landguard Point, where history and nature meet. This area is home to Landguard Fort and the surrounding nature reserve, making it ideal for visitors who enjoy walking, photography, and wildlife. Find out more at https://www.landguard.com
Staying at The Dolphin Hotel means the seafront is just a short walk away. Many guests enjoy starting or ending their day with a coastal walk before returning to the hotel for food, drinks, or to relax after a day outdoors.
