I'm not sure where you went, but if you go the end of the rd where the Bawdsey ferry goes to Felixstowe and the entrance to the school is (ex Guardroom of RAF Bawdsey) you can get round to the shingle beach from there and it is fine to detect. You take the public footpath that runs along side the yacht club storage area.
