Things To See And Do In Felixstowe:
Deben Ferry: Passenger ferries, connecting Felixstowe with the sandy beach of Bawdsey Quay, have been passing through the Deben for centuries. For some time, steam chain ferries carried vehicles as well, but counter to the directions provided by some of the navigation systems, vehicles should now take the 40-minute long road way around Deben Estuary. Foot passengers, on the other hand, can make the journey in just a few minutes and need not wait for a crossing for very long since a bat can be waved for calling the ferryman.
