Shingle Street

Shingle Street is a picturesque and peaceful beach, favored by locals for its tranquility and natural beauty. The beach is characterized by its shingle landscape, which changes with each visit. It is particularly known for its lagoon, which provides a serene spot for swimming and paddling. During very low tides, additional lagoons are created by the shore, adding to the beach's unique charm. The beach is also notable for its World War II defensive forts and buildings, some of which are in ruins and open for exploration. This adds a historical dimension to the natural allure of the beach. Shingle Street is an east-facing beach, which means it offers dramatic views of the moon rising over the sea and the sunset over Bawsy and Felixstowe. The beach's position and the long fetch also result in quite dramatic waves, making it a great spot for watching and photographing the sea. The beach is easily accessible and offers ample parking. However, visitors should note that there are no toilet facilities available. Despite this, Shingle Street remains a popular destination for day trips, walks, and relaxation.
