Why you should visit the Suffolk Coast
The Suffolk Coast is one of the UK’s finest landscapes with 40
miles of Heritage Coast set in an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. Under our big East Anglian skies you will find tranquillity
and an invigorating sense of space, even at the height of
summer.
With so much to see it’s easy to leave the car behind and
explore on foot or bicycle. Whether you want to build sandcastles
and eat ice-cream or discover some of Britain’s rarest wildlife,
you can do it here on the Suffolk coast.
Our charming seaside towns are great for family holidays and our
historic riverside villages are romantic places to stay and linger.
Water is never far away and each new tide brings light and
movement, delighting the eye and relaxing the mind and body.
Away from the coast there are more secrets to discover. You’ll
find beautiful churches historic castles; Anglo-Saxon burial sites;
windmills and a fairytale meare; mysterious forests and leafy
lanes; historic market towns and friendly, oak-beamed pubs where
you’re guaranteed fantastic local food and a warm welcome.
