I loved going here with my dog Lucy and still hike there today with her in spirit! Wonderful selection of travels with varying degrees of elevation and terrain.

Sasco Beach

Reviewed By SailSunJay - Fairfield, United States

The third largest town beach that you can swim at even at low tide. The beach is more remote than the main beach, at the end of Sasco Hill Road. Limited parking and may be full on weekends. Because it is more remote it is more laid-back and quite.

Jennings Beach

Reviewed By lukesawyer985

I enjoyed my time at Jennings Beach. The sand (at least away from the water) is nice and comfy. Also, there is a snack bar that serves lunch and frozen treats. There is a large pavilion that hosts events. I recommend this for anyone. You should bring here regular beach supplies, and your own food depending on if you want to buy from the somewhat expensive snack bar.

Penfield Beach

Reviewed By zoeyrocky2019 - White Mills, United States

We visited the beach the weekend of Sept 8-10. Stopped here twice...once Friday late afternoon to check it out. Then again Saturday morning. There is a nice pavilion where some one was having a wedding, and a playground area. There's a concession stand but we didn't get a chance to check that out. The beach was clean and quiet. Since it is the off season, no charge to park.
