Jennings Beach
Jennings Beach is 27 acres and the largest of Fairfield’s beaches. This vast beach has sand with a light mix of crushed shells and pebbles until the water’s edge, where the sand is mostly free of shells and there are sparse pieces of seaweed at the water’s edge. The grade to the water is gradual with small waves or non-existent waves due to the Long Island Sound. In addition to traditional beach activities, Jennings Beach offers swimming lessons, 4th of July fireworks, family movie nights, a skate park, and a large playground.
