Landguard Point is the most southerly part of Suffolk, south of Felixstowe. The area is common land with a shingle foreshore, behind which is low vegetated sand and shingle with some clumps of bramble and elder, with grass and shrub-covered earth banks and is classed as a Local Nature Reserve. It is jointly owned by Suffolk County Council and Suffolk Coastal District Council who employ the Landguard Ranger. The site is a Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) and supports many species of plants including the nationally rare Stinking Goosefoot. Landguard Bird Observatory is situated on a section of bank, in part of the former wartime gun emplacements, next to Landguard Fort museum.
