![]() ![]() The $7 fee is worth the view from the top and the history is interesting. We enjoyed just body surfing in the waves. There is even a beach that has waves big enough to surf. There are life guards on duty and you are not allowed to swim until they get there at noon. We don't like crowded beaches! With 13 beaches to go to it was easy to find one not crowded. We wre able to swim and play in the water with plenty of room away from other people so it made it a nice time with just our family and not feeling like we were with a whole group of strangers. We spent two full days on the beaches and the Bay side. We have three grown children and our family of five had a wonderful time!! We've already told others they should go here for a visit. Also, if you can, plan to spend more than 1 day at this place because there are so many outdoor activities to do that you will want to spend more time here. But, the park gets very crowded on the weekends, so plan accordingly and consider going during the week if you have that option. ![]() The park offers many parking areas and pull over areas to either walk to beaches, picnic areas or other points of interest. There are multiple trails throughout the park and they are easy to walk or bicycle as they are all on level ground. The Perry Monument is within an easy walk to the parking lot and commemorates Oliver Hazard Perry's successful defense of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. The other lighthouse - the North Pier Light - is not available for tours, but can be viewed from the pier on which it sits. ![]() I toured the Presque Isle Lighthouse which cost $10, but had historical exhibits that I viewed before walking to the top. After making a donation, I received a map which was helpful at illustrating all the trails, beaches, boating/fishing areas, etc. Entrance to the park is free, but they accept donations. There is literally something for everyone at Presque Isle. This park has it all: beaches/swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, bicycling, picknicking, lighthouses, monument/history, etc. ![]()
