Covering more than 30 square miles, Fairfield is located between the cities of Bridgeport and Stamford on the Long Island Coast. The city has managed to preserve its colonial heritage and historic districts while it encourages modern growth and development. Fairfield University is the focal point for many cultural events, and the support for the arts is strong. Local shopping features upscale stores and specialty shops, although large shopping malls and factory outlets are located nearby in Bridgeport, Trumbull, and Norwalk. Miles of beaches offer water sports, yachting, boating, fishing, and water skiing. Other recreational activities include hiking, skating, golf, tennis, and sports play. Private clubs add to the options for leisure enjoyment.
