Nacton Shores is a picturesque beach in Suffolk, England, boasting a tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural beauty. The shore is lined with wooden groynes, which help to prevent erosion and create a unique landscape. The beach itself is a mix of sand and shingle, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. The surrounding area is a haven for wildlife, with nearby nature reserves and the River Deben flowing into the sea. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks along the coastal path, take in the breathtaking views, and relax in this peaceful seaside setting.
Wonderful quiet walking spot where you can enjoy nature and walk along the river shore with the dog and relax in the peaceful countryside away from the noise of traffic. Great for some bird spotting or sitting and watching the boats on the water. Added bonus is that parking is free! There are 3 small parking bays but the road is gated and shuts at 8pm.
Free to park... beautiful scenery.... we walked to the Ship Pub..... lovely staff. We had drinks and nibbles. Dog friendly. We will be doing a walk and pub again.. this time we will order food!
Lovely walk along the water, going through the (old) oak woods, a boardwalk through the reed lands and returning through woods containing mainly ash trees. And, if you'd like, a nice stop halfway at The Ship (Inn)
Enjoy walks along the river bank to Levington or just sit in the sun on the vast grass area that faces the rivers with fantastic views. where. There is a picnic table and benches and a car park which on hot busy days can be challenging to park in
Great place to watch birds, nature, perhaps walks etc.
Lovely stroll along the Orwell, plenty of nature and not many people. Free parking at the entrance way to the riverside path
