Reydon is only divided from Southwold by Buss Creek, a narrow stretch of water where the fishing boats (busses) of long ago used to tie up. All properties therefore have easy access to the beaches and the town centre amenities by road or the various footpaths.  Reydon boasts two well-stocked village stores, as well as the Randolph Hotel, which has an excellent restaurant and good ‘locals’ bar.
