The Longest Beach In Ohio: Headlands Beach State Park

Do you know where the longest beach in Ohio is?

Headlands Beach State Park in Mentor, Ohio features a mile-long natural sand beach that’s unbelievably picturesque. A beach day here will make you temporarily forget you’re in Ohio—because Lake Erie really is our own special sort of ocean here.

Take a look:

Lake Erie is home to more than 30 beautiful beaches but Headlands Beach State Park in Mentor stands out among the rest.

It's the largest natural sand beach in Ohio, so naturally, it is a popular beach in the area.

In the distance, you'll notice a picturesque lighthouse, which has stood there since the mid-1920s.

Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Lighthouse at sunset is an especially romantic sight to behold.

With free admission and free parking, it's a great family day trip destination. You can visit from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Swim, fish, sail, picnic or just kick back and enjoy the view—because you likely deserve a day in paradise.

Headlands Beach State Park is located at 9601 Headlands Rd., Mentor, OH 44060. Have you ever been here before? If so, we want to know what your experience was like!
