River Deben Entrance
Felixstowe, England, United Kingdom
The River Deben Entrance is located in Felixstowe, England, at coordinates 51.98460, 1.39157. This paddle location marks the point where the River Deben meets the coast in Suffolk's eastern region.
No facilities are available at this launch point, so paddlers should prepare accordingly before heading out. The entrance location provides access to tidal waters and the broader estuary system. Given its coastal position, paddlers should be aware of tidal conditions and weather patterns typical of the North Sea approaches.
The area offers paddlers the opportunity to explore where freshwater river meets saltwater, a transition zone that can present varying water conditions throughout the tidal cycle. Those planning to paddle here should carry necessary supplies and check tide tables in advance, as the absence of on-site facilities means self-sufficiency is essential for a safe and enjoyable paddling experience.
