To the east of Saxmundham lies the Suffolk Heritage Coast with popular centres including Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Walberswick, Southwold and Orford.

Also nearby is the Sizewell B Power Station, which is owned and operated by EDF. There are plans in place to develop Sizewell C which will be a large infrastructure project for the area and one that will generate considerable inward investment during the construction phase and undoubtedly have a direct and positive impact on the local economy.
