The pier has been brought back to life with a modern twist and comprises: Eating areas, wine bars, outside seating all around the pier and, occasionally, live music. The beach huts in all their pretty glory have been given a new lease of life with lovely traditional seaside colours.

Felixstowe is also home to the UK’s largest, and Europe’s busiest, container port and the viewing area at Landguard offers great views of ships coming into the port and here too, are the Landguard Bird Observatory, Landguard Peninsular nature reserves, the fort and Felixstowe Museum. There is a foot and cycle ferry crossing between Felixstowe, Shotley Peninsular and Harwich.

North of the town centre is the fishing village of Old Felixstowe with its golf course, riverside cafes, plus a small shop selling freshly caught seafood. The area between Manor End and Cobbold’s Point is Felixstowe’s main seafront and can be explored along a two-mile-long promenade. Further along the promenade you come across Felixstowe’s colourful and intriguing Seafront Gardens which start beside the Town Hall and stretch for a mile along the promenade and are well worth exploring.

The town itself has a wide range of shops, eateries, pubs, churches, parks, recreational facilities, a library and a railway station.
