There are usually some coach tickets available at the end as people don't take them up. You could speculate on that option. Apart from that, you could plan a nice week-end in Suffolk and return at your leisure on Sunday evening or on Monday. As the others said, you could ride to Ipswich, or to another station. The closest station, Darsham, is not a good bet, as too many people try to get on the train there.
Southern Rail has increased their services in the past couple of years though, to cater for the returning riders, and that includes allowing more bikes on each train. As you say though, there are usually tickets at the beach - also at the start of the ride.
