Visitors to Beccles Quay can obtain access by various routes;

From the Beccles By-Pass, turn into George Westwood Way, near to Safeways Supermarket at the Roundabout. Then turning right at the Common Lane junction, turn right again at the 'Chris Bassey-Fisher' car showroom. This leads round to the Quay. From the Town Centre, starting at the St Michaels Church, go down the hill into Northgate Street, continue down this ancient street where you will find the Quay at the very end. From the village of Gillingham, you may enter the quay via the route over the Gillingham Dam towards Beccles. You will come to the small Beccles river crossing bridge. Once over the bridge, turn almost immediately left, and you have arrived at the quay. Parking is limited at the Quay side itself, and is short term. There is a large Car Park as you move along the narrow road to your right as you face the quay. The park entrance is almost immediately opposite the 'Travis Perkins' warehouse.

Beccles Quay attracts visitors of all ages, it has a small shop, well established tourist information centre with public toilets opposite the tourist centre. The 'Loaves & Fishes' public house provides refreshments daily.

NOTE: The area of the quay may become water-logged during high tides or periods of heavy rain, this is quite normal through the winter months.

Across the small footbridge, you will find an adequate children's play area, and the access under the large fly-over bridge to the Marshland Trail Walks.

NOTE: Throughout the Quay area you will find a number of litter bins for your use, PLEASE use them.

During the first week of August each year this area becomes very congested as it is the focal point of many of the renowned Beccles Carnival events, culminating in a spectacular Firework display on the final evening.
