Presque Isle isn't just home to our beaches; it's also a state park! It's a favorite nesting ground for many endangered bird species and also the only breeding habitat in Pennsylvania for the piping plover.

Even though Pennsylvania isn't on the coast, Erie has beaches!

The Presque Isle Peninsula has 13 beaches with access to the Lake Erie waters. Nearly 4 million people visit every year!
