Hi,

Booked a guest house in Ipswich for Saturday as a base for a beach weekend (Felixstowe / Suffolk coast). Now second-guessing the plan a bit.

Hotel is non-refundable and doesn’t have AC, so slightly worried about heat + comfort.

Rough plan was:

• Morning: Felixstowe beach
• Midday: check-in + rest
• Afternoon: maybe drive up to Southwold / Walberswick (and possibly crabbing)
• Evening: back to Ipswich

Main concern:

• If it’s very hot, not sure how realistic it is to comfortably do beach + walking around all day
• Worried Ipswich might feel like a “nothing to do” base and we’ll end up stuck or bored

Question:

• Is this a sensible plan for a hot Saturday, or am I overthinking it?
• What are good things to do around Ipswich / Suffolk coast that work in heat (with a car)?
• Any better way to structure the day?

Have already been to Cambridge and Ely, so looking for something different this time.

I'm travelling from Buckinghamshire
