Today I visited the first two piers on my list – Felixstowe and Harwich Ha’Penny. Felixstowe beach was quite busy on a sunny, warm Sunday – the perfect way to kick off the project. Plenty of folks were out sunning themselves on the sand or outside their beach huts.

As well as photographing each pier, I also plan to take tea and cake, wherever possible on,  or close to, the pier. My first treat was a strawberry cupcake and a cup of tea from the Boardwalk Café on the shoreward end of the pier – as far as you can go, as most of the rest of the way is barred to the public.
