Live Like a Local in Fairfield
Sightseeing
This is a favorite spot of our family - great for a visit anytime of day. Morning walks and runs on the beach, summer beach days, or evening picnics. There is a playground and swings for kids, bathrooms in the pavilion, and a snack bar during summer. After Memorial Day there is paid parking available directly across the street from the pavilion ($20 on weekdays and $50 on weekends), or you can drop your stuff and drive a bit further for free parking near/on Reef Rd.
