Explore Grade II listed seafront gardens with meandering paths, beautiful planting, ponds, and historic shelters set between town and beach.

Felixstowe Seafront Gardens offer a charming destination for families to discover year-round.

It being a lovely spring Sunday afternoon, I cycled the short distance from my home along the prom to find a seat on which to perch at the town's delightful seafront gardens. There are countless little tucked-away places off the prom and into the gardens, which are starting to look really good as the season changes towards summer. I especially like to watch the enormous ULCC's (Ultra-large container ships) as they make their slow progress under pilotage along the deep dredged channel, while listening to the chatter between the ships, the pilot boats and the port on my marine band radio. It's also lovely to go down with a book to read and just enjoy the lovely surroundings and the peace and quiet away from the crowds. Simply delightful.

A lovely place to walk around. Very hard to park on a nice day. Everyone comes down to the beach to sit on it and tan. If your not into that like me, then you can stroll through the gardens and down the highstreet. Plenty of pubs along the way and food places. Plenty of places to sit and relax and get a nice cold breeze. I saw plenty of bins and did not see any mess. It was quite tidy. We stopped for a beer at Bar and Grill. Really nice drinks and food. When we took a walk back we had to climb up the stairs to the top of the garden. But the views are amazing. Plenty of nice scenery and perfect for photographers like myself. If you don't mind a little bit of walking then I highly recommend coming here. Even if it's just to look out at the sea.
