"Parties can even be held at Penfield Pavilion where you can dance the night away with the moon shining over the water."

Living between Jennings Beach and Penfield Beach was heavenly. In the winter, I would walk my dog to the beach to play with other neighborhood dogs and watch the horses stroll on the sand. My summer days were spent laying on the beach reading, swimming, and skim boarding. Penfield Beach is over 3 acres long – and if the tide is just right, you can even walk to Penfield Lighthouse. Nights were filled with dinners on the beach, BBQs and bonfires, pick-up volleyball games, movie nights, clam bakes, sand jams, and the annual carnivals. Front row seats for the 4th of July fireworks were a breeze to find. Parties can even be held at Penfield Pavilion where you can dance the night away with the moon shining over the water

While I no longer live in the beach area now, I still love to visit, spend time on the beach with friends, and host open houses at one of the many listings we’ve had over the years.
