About this park
The trademark of Headlands Beach State Park is its massive 35-acre Lake Erie beach, which offers excellent sunbathing and swimming, beach glass hunting and phenomenal sunsets over the lake. Picnicking is available throughout the park, and a paved hike and bike trail runs along the back dunes with views of the beach and lake. The interaction of lake, wind and sand creates a rare lakeshore dune habitat that supports rare and unique plants. The park is also one of Ohio's premier birding locations, drawing birdwatchers during migration seasons.
