Description

Suffolk Sands Holiday Park sits at the seafront end of Carr Road, with caravans and lodges laid out just behind the promenade and nature reserve. It’s designed as a calm, low-key base: stroll straight onto the beach, walk the sea wall towards Landguard Nature Reserve, or wander into Felixstowe for cafés and the Blue Flag beach.

On park, facilities are intentionally simple – think children’s adventure play area, launderette and sales/owners’ office rather than a full-on complex. When you do want a swim or evening out, owners can use the facilities at sister park Felixstowe Beach Holiday Park, less than a mile away, including the indoor pool with flume, bar, restaurant and entertainment venue. Felixstowe town provides supermarkets, shops, pubs and healthcare, while the A14 links run to Ipswich and the wider network; trains from Felixstowe connect via Ipswich towards London, journey times are service dependent.
