Opened as "Felixstowe Town" in 1877 by the Felixstowe Railway and Pier Company, later part of the Great Eastern Railway, on the line from Ipswich to Felixstowe Pier. The name was changed to "Felixstowe Beach" in 1898 when the current Felixstowe station was opened. This station closed in 1967 and the wooden buildings were demolished in 2004. View north towards the current Felixstowe station; also Ipswich. The line is still heavily used by freight traffic to the docks.
