Welcome to Felixstowe!

Discover Felixstowe

Nestles between the rivers Orwell and Deben on the east coast of England, Felixstowe is a charming Edwardian seaside town with a vibrant town centre and a wonderful mix of attrations and activities to suit all ages and interests.

Promenade along the seafront with its fine architecture, colourful beach huts and four miles of lovely beaches – don’t forget your bucket and spade! Overlooking the waters are the Seafront Gardens, with their colourful and unusual planting, historical features and structures.

For family fun, try your luck on the games and slot machines at Felixstowe Pier, Forum Amusements and Manning’s, then head to the children’s rides at Ocean Boulevard. Make a splash at the Leisure Centre and challenge your friends to a round of Adventure Golf. Martello Park offers fun play areas and kiosks. You can’t visit the seafront without trying our fish and chips or an ice cream made using the milk from Felixstowe’s dairy herd. In the evening, enjoy shows and entertainment at The Spa Pavilion.

Just up the hill is our town centre, home to a great selection of big-name stores, plus speciality boutiques, crafts, gifts, and independent shops – pick up something special as a souvenir of your day by the sea, then relax with a classic cream tea on the cliff-tops.

At the northern end of the town is the charming fishing and sailing hamlet of Felixstowe Ferry. Take a walk along the banks beside the River Deben, hop on the little foot ferry for a trip to Bawdsey for tea and cake, pick up some fresh fish for supper and see how many of the iconic Napoleonic Martello Towers you can spot.

Head south to visit the unique Landguard Peninsula with its 18th-century Fort – one of England’s best-preserved coastal defences – alongside the fascinating collections and memorabilia at the Felixstowe Museum. Stroll along the boardwalk at the nature reserve, home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. The Viewing Area and café here offer spectacular views of the giant ships arriving and departing at Britain’s busiest port.
