Beach and pier
It’s a great seaside town, you can rent beach huts, swim in the sea, play the slot machines, have fun on the pier, it’s where the Adnams brewery and shop is. You can walk to walberswick either over the bridge or get rowed over the river. Parking is terrible.

Walking
Great walk on the Sandy beach and a cafe … with a power station thrown in.
Sizewell Beach
Great beach and Heath walks and the lost town of Dunwich throws up medieval debris on the beach. They say you can hear the church bells ring under the sea.

At the mouth of the river alde with a Martello tower and remote artist community living in the coastguard cottages. Shingle, sea swells, bleak, otherworldly place.
