Felixstowe Beach

The quickest trip to a beach from Bury St. Edmunds is to head straight down the A14 to Felixstowe. Yes it's a big container ship port, but the sea front is fine. Although not as pretty as Southwold (have I really not mentioned yet it is my favourite Suffolk seaside town?), it does also have some pretty beach huts. They were still parked for the winter here.



After 1/2 an hour walking south we had got quite a way from the town centre. The beach is sandy and goes on and on...


We brought our buckets and spades, but where has Big Miss gone? She was more interested in clambering on the piles of boulders that make up the sea defences!


The beach goes on in the other direction too.


At the pier there the usual amusements. We didn't go in, but Little Miss wanted to - she wanted one of these horses.


It was a good morning out, leaving the oven to turn itself on for the Sunday roast while the Missus caught up with her schoolwork.
