Orford Quay is the working quay and harbour at the foot of Quay Street in Orford, on the banks of the River Alde. Boat trips depart from here, including the National Trust ferry to Orford Ness and RSPB trips to Havergate Island.
Boat trips are seasonal: RSPB Havergate Island trips run Aug-Oct and Jan-Apr (not May-Jul, breeding season); National Trust Orford Ness ferry runs spring to autumn.
