Cute beach huts line this stunning beach
While Cambridgeshire isn’t lucky to have beaches, it is within easy reach of beach destinations. The neighbouring borders of Suffolk and Norfolk are home to some of the most gorgeous beaches in the country.
Some offer a peaceful day out, while others offer a more fast-paced trip out. One beach in Suffolk offers a quieter trip, but still has lots on offer to enjoy.
The “attractive” seaside town of Felixstowe is full of family-friendly spots that make for a perfect summer’s day out. It is also within easy reach of Cambridge as it’s an hour and 25-minute drive.
The four-mile long beach is made up of sand and shingle. It’s also home to a “picturesque” promenade that is lined with cute beach huts, some of which people can hire.
On the Suffolk Coast website, it says: “South beach has all you need for a fun, family day out, with amusements, cafes, shops selling buckets and spaces and kiosks selling ice creams and snacks.”
The stretch of beach is also award-winning, after it won a Blue Flag and Seaside award in 2025. This award recognises high standards of beach management and water quality.
The beach is also an ideal good one to swim in, as long as it is done safely. For pet owners, Felixstowe beach is also dog friendly.
Dogs are allowed on some parts of the beach, however parts where they aren’t allowed include parts of the Landguard Coastal Nature Reserve. For the kids (and also adults) there are lots of “traditional” amusements to try and win some prizes.
Whether it’s the 2p machines or grabbers, the machine you want will guarantee be in Felixstowe.
