Let's Staycation in Felixstowe, writes Charlotte Smith-Jarvis in the East Anglian Daily Times.

In its Edwardian heyday, Felixstowe was one of THE places to be if you did 'like to be beside the seaside’. 

Fast forward to today, and seaside town is experiencing a new-wave heyday. Investment has swept the seafront, bringing with it a new pier, the Martello Park development, Beach Street, and flourishing gardens that have never looked better. 

New businesses, from restaurants and cafes, to independent gift and lifestyle stores, have breathed life into the high street and its offshoots too.
