Penfield Beach, Sandy beach in Fairfield, United States
Penfield Beach extends over 3.5 acres along Long Island Sound, featuring stretches of sand suitable for swimming and sunbathing next to Rickards Beach.
The beach stands as a part of Connecticut's five-mile coastline system, which has provided recreational opportunities for local residents since the early development of Fairfield.
The Jacky Durrell Pavilion at Penfield Beach serves as a central gathering space for community events, weddings, and celebrations throughout the year.
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, visitors need either a seasonal beach sticker or must pay daily parking fees of $40 on weekdays and $50 on weekends.
The beach complex includes two waterfront banquet facilities and sailboat racks, allowing residents to store their vessels throughout the summer season.
