City/town information
Great downtown, diverse places for food, shopping and summer concert scene. Westport library is very nice with a cafe in it.
There are a slew of restaurants all very noteworthy. Nomad is one of many new dining hot spots in town near shopping district. Gabrielle's behind the Playhouse. La Plage at Longshore is very scenic and sits on the water as does the Sunset Grill in Norwalk. These are all outside of Fairfield and with traffic can make it 20-30 min. drive. I suggest making reservations, this will definitely be helpful/and necessary depending on where you go and when.
Also there is a great Farmers Market on Thursdays behind Levitt Pavilion, a music venue with free evening summer concerts.

Parque Estatal de la Isla Sherwood
Sherwood Island ConnectorBeautiful beach with concession, bathrooms, grills and many other amenities. Last I checked it was free. This changes from time to time, so check before you go. It is nearby (10 minute drive) and very easy access and parking.
The marina is the closest beach access from the house. Walk down Turney Rd till end. There are amenities such as play grounds, trails, skate park, fishing and toilets for example. You can drive to the Ash Creek Open space if you mention that to the guard and parking is far left of guard house. Otherwise if you want to drive next to the beach area the guard may redirect you to another area Jennings Beach (walk down South Benson through playground) or Penfield. These are often more crowded and with fees in summer). Both have concessions and parking and are also close to house, 15 minute walk.
Other beaches in town but further away +/-2 miles:
Sasco Beach maybe our nicest beach access.
Hidden secret with very small parking lot is S. Pine Creek Beach
Southport Beach is right off the road and has a morning breakfast food truck (check schedule Th-Su).

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué debes empacar
Bring beach equipment and pool floats.
I wrote some beach directions under Fairfield Marina (above) as sit is the closest access to beach. Please bring any beach equipment you may need such as beach towels, chairs, coolers, umbrellas, floats, kid toys etc. There maybe some at the house but likely not enough.
Consider walking to beach or getting dropped off for no cost entry. Charge is by vehicle. During the week is less expensive than the weekend. Last year during the week was $20. and weekend was $45. Rules change by year and season. Please check with gatehouse upon entering any details.
Viajar con niños
Caring for Swimming pool (included in this unit).
Please keep these rules strictly adhered:
All adults and children must not enter pool without proper guidance. Parents be careful and watch your children at all times.
No Glass allowed of any kind in the back yard. Plastic drinking options are included with this unit.
Water Levels of pool will need to be maintained while you are staying at this unit during the summer. Please add water using hose if the water level falls below the center of the skimmer-intake. Water level should always stay an inch or two above the center of the intake basket or an inch above first stair.
