Fantastic Felixstowe!

Start your day with a walk through Martello Park; an Edwardian Park with children's play areas, kiosks and manicured gardens before booking a table in the historic surroundings of The Orwell Hotel for afternoon tea in the lounge and tuck into sandwiches, pastries, cakes and freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam.

Chill out in the evening with a show at The Spa Pavilion – there’s a great line up of productions in 2019 from kid’s shows to musicals, plays and comedy. 

Take a morning stroll and explore the newly restored Seafront Gardens which are located close to the beach, pier and leisure centre. The Gardens display a cross section of over 100 years of municipal and private gardening trends which illustrate Felixstowe’s history as a prime Suffolk Coast resort of late Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war character.

You could also hire a beach hut and sample true 'seaside-life' on The Suffolk Coast or find a spot on the beach and make the most of the award-winning beach. 

In the evening, enjoy mediterranean-inspired dishes at Cafe Bencotto or listen to live music over dinner with wine at The Alex Cafe, Bar & Brasserie.

Start your day with breakfast at the View Point Cafe, where you can watch the huge tankers coming into port as you tuck into a full English or sausage sandwich, plus snacks, fresh fish and chips and ice cream. Mix the old with the new by visiting the unique Landguard Peninsula with its 18th C. Fort, one of Britain’s best-preserved coastal defences, alongside the fascinating collections of the Felixstowe Museum. Stroll along the boardwalk at the Nature Reserve, home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. And while you’re there you’ll have spectacular views of the giant ships arriving and departing at Britain’s busiest port.

A trip to Landguard Peninsula is not complete without visiting the Landguard Visitor Centre located at the John Bradfield Viewing Area. Here you can see fun hands-on displays, videos and exhibits on the attractions of the Peninsula.

Afterwards, take a relaxing stroll or bike ride through Landguard Nature Reserve 

Enjoy a leisurely start to the day with breakfast and a freshly brewed coffee at Alex Café & Bar, which has a prime location across from the promenade. 

Then hop on the Harwich Harbour Foot and Bicycle Ferry that runs from the John Bradfield Viewing Area at Felixstowe to Harwich and Shotley. This is the only public ferry service connecting Suffolk and Essex and runs from Easter to the end of October. Times and fares are available on the website: www.harwichharbourferry.com
