One of my favorite thing to do is go on extreme hikes that require jumping between borders. Likely enough this park has just that. From the fishing area past the light house youll find boulders. The best part of the park with lots of shade you will find by entrance to the fishing path. The sunsets here are breathtaking too.

An amazing place for day outing !!! Beach lovers will definitely fall in love with this place.Pack your beach activity stuff and head over to this place.Beautiful colourful stones, collect them and decorate your home...

A fantastic spot! Walk across the narrow boardwalk through the dunes and soon youll hit the sand! A lot of the shoreline in this area is made up of smaller rocks, so a great place for skipping stones, finding beach glass, or just collecting really interesting looking pebbles. Beautiful Mentor Headlands Lighthouse is to your east, take a picture!

Narrow line of beachfront that serves as a home for a lot of small animals and rare plants. Great place to think or to relax.

Beautiful park. Lake shore was a bit challenging to walk in places because of the rocks. We did not get to visit the lighthouse because of the crowds trying to maneuver the wall over to it. Maybe we will come again!

Beautiful place, unique beach. Picnic areas. Love the boardwalk and path through the dunes!!

A solid beach, not the best in Ohio but with Lake Erie you cant expect much more. Sunsets are always pretty here, rain or shine. The light house is nice looking too. This is a good place for a date.

A nice public beach on Lake Erie, about 40 minutes east of Cleveland. Be prepared for a long walk to reach the water, there is several hundred feet of sand between the parking lots and the water.Head to the light house break wall if you feel like taking a walk. Be polite, someone owns the light house.FYI, this beach has no lifeguards.

The most important thing that I wanted to share was that you can walk the breakwater up to the lighthouse. It is a rocky but short walk, and gives you a great closeup view. Beautiful space.

This is a place that you can go and look at the beautiful Fairport Harbor Lighthouse West breakwater! If you plan on going out to see it make sure you bring good walking shoes because youll be walking in the sand. To walk out to Lighthouse after this and it is big boulders to climb out on. Yes it does Splash here and there. If you cant make it out there theyre still great places to take pictures. This walk is very challenging. If you have a hard time walking make sure you carry a chair or something. There is a wooden walkway to walk out to the beach only. If you cant walk on sand you can still take the walkway and take pictures of the lighthouse. Yes this is a place to go swimming. There is no cost.

Really nice and clean beach...and its huge. Nice place to find Sea Glass. Some walking trails through the sand dunes get you close to the lighthouse.

Nice sand, lots of places to spread out. One downside is their policy of dogs on the beach. signs stating no pets but no information on why. i just take my dog and be respectful to others.

Beautiful beach with lots of treasures to find. Great for wading, splashing, rock hunting, swimming and sunbathingVery clean and well maintained.

Beautiful!! Go see it and enjoy.

Awesome a must see only open 1 day a year

Well kept and a nice area to walk. I always hike through here and head out to the break wall. Very pretty in the spring and fall. Occasionally see the eagles out that are nested over off 44. Fishing spots over by the breakwall. Beautiful views. Good place to relax.

The best beach. There are rocks under foot that a lot of people complain about and thats valid. But I can live with some rocks for clean water and clean sand on a beautiful free beach with plenty ofamenities. The bathrooms were just updated, the food is A+, and theres a lovely boardwalk over beautiful dunes.

Visited on our way through on a trip and ended up spending 4 hrs rather 1 which we had planned loved it!!! Found some awesome seaglass. Only criticism would be the old man in a speedo but you do you guy.

Love this park, just to drive through or to walk down on the beach or up to the lighthouse. Would recommend to anybody who likes beaches and the outdoors!

Beautiful beach park. Love walking up to the lighthouse and beyond along the pier.

Beautiful access point to the Lake with a fairly quick walk out to the beach. Lots of parking.

Very fun lots of creatures everywhere

My happy place, especially at sunrise. But if the bird guys stop talking to me while Im enjoying my morning coffee, it would be perfect.

Always so beautiful. And clean.

Nice, quite place.

Great park and nature preserve with trails, beaches, lighthouse, pavilions, and restrooms.

Bob Ross said to go visit nature and make it your good friend...Mentor Headlands is good nature (a little windy but hey, its the beach)

Away from the crowds. Plenty of parking. Clean bathrooms. Rangers visible everywhere the day I was there. Clean sand. Clean water.

Fun time with great photo ops.

Very nice beach and walkway leading to beach is fantastic.

It is a beautiful park with a Marsh area, natural sand dunes and a big beach. A boardwalk to the beach was added which is easier to walk on for disabled people. Many people take professional pictures here for seniors and other important occasions. Beautiful sunsets.

A huge beach. Walkway close to the parking lot from one end to the other. Plenty of restrooms. Flush commodes, except in winter they close them down and put up port a potties, and dont keep them clean. Lots of trees for shade there, close to the parking lot. Huge parking lot. 1 snack stand with a concrete pad and seating. On the far right edge of the park is a boardwalk, that takes you thru a field and up to the waters edge. They let plants grow naturally by the walkway for biodiversity and wild life. Very nice beach.

A great place to relax. Great views in all directions at any time of day. Enjoy a summer day or a winter picnic.

What a wonderful escape! We use this location all the time for engagement shoots. Plenty of parking spread out over a half a mile. A brandnew boardwalk with amenities. A concession stand and bathrooms. Jet ski rental is also available. The light house is grand and very interesting.

Nice place to have a fire and hang out

I had no idea this preserve was nestled just east of Headlands Beach. Youll find both sand trails and a beach boardwalk to take in the sights from the recovering dunes. Theres a wooden pavilion to relax in and overlook the lake. On the far East side is a old lighthouse building that serves as a prominent landmark. Note, prts and picnicking are not permitted here! Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy your time on the lake.

The headland dune state park was awesome. The beautiful view was amazing. The view of the lighthouse was remarkably beautiful. It was cold but I still had to put my toes in the sand and water. It was cold but made me smile. The availability of bathrooms are good too. They are open and clean. The only bad thing was the dryer for your hands didnt work. Either way I had a blast and wished to stay longer.

Just by chance the job Im on is a five minute walk from the beach!

Small, but beautiful :) Recommend checking it out in the off months for a non-traditional non-summer experience - and to get it a bit more to yourself :)

Great place to picnic and even do some shore fishing.

Long, clean beach. It is a long walk to the lighthouse, very sandy, and then you have to walk on the barrier wall to get to the house. The light house is now privately owned. On the dunes trail there is a boardwalk.

Beautiful marsh/dunes/beach landscape filled on summer weekends with an eclectic assortment of humanity. Catch it on a weekday or anytime other than summer for a less frenetic and eye-popping experience.

Nice walk, enjoyed it! Cool lighthouse.

Great place to walk and site see. Im not a bird watcher but rumor has it this area has the most diverse population of birds on earth. I swim here a lot, its never crowded on the east side of the beach. good fishing spots you just have to walk a lot to get there

Nice park but unfortunately there are some annoying regulars who go there and think they own the place.

Lovely place to walk and listen to the waves on Lake Erie.

Today we saw what must have been hundreds of butterflies in the wildflowers. The walk along the beach towards the lighthouse is easy and pretty.

Beautiful place but lots ofPERV PEOPLE !!!Sick stay away from the woods but enjoy the beach and light house have FUN!

Love this place, been going here since I was a kid. Saw a fox today!

Very long beach, good place for fishing too.

A beautifully restorative place in the fall, i found roaming along the beach and through the nature preserve to be familiar yet unlike anywhere else I’d ever experienced. My only regret was not being able to walk all the way to the light because waves were smashing high over the jetty! So fantastic.

Natural preserve area. Boardwalk offers easy access.

Beautiful area and the brsnd new boardwalk is an outstanding addition, very helpful for the elderly and handicapped.

Waves are massive and I can wear my fabulous speedo.

No Cost. Feels like your at the beach for the most part.Update: Just went for the second time and the bathrooms were flooded and there was trash all across the sand. Other than that everything is great

Nice state park with beach access. Crowded in summer usually so get there early if you want a table/bbq grill area as they are first come first serve. Its a walk to the beach from the parking lot so where your shoes on a hot day. No pets on beach. Decent bathroom/changing facilities. Paved path for walking, bikes etc. Open all year round. Definitely worth a visit in the winter to see the way the snow and ice form

The new walkway added last year over the Dunes is wonderful! Relaxing, beautiful and such a great use of the space

Lots of different style, shapes & colored stones and pebbles. Beach was wicked cool!!!

Do you enjoy sandy beaches, furry creatures, and not having seizures? Then come here, watch the sunset, and chill out.

Has a nice paved path along the beach and some paths that lead to the lighthouse. I wish dogs were allowed on the beach area

If you like long walks on the beach or just watching the beautiful sun sets with someone you care about or simply for solitude is a great place to go. If you like to take pictures you will have plenty of opportunities sand and surf await with some wildlife and a great lighthouse... Plus a little something for the beachcomber...

Good place to cool off with family and friends, awesome beach and light house.

Perfect place to go fly a kite, if you can catch a breeze

Love it!!! Great place to chill/play/cook out/ swimming/ boating. What else could you ask for.

This was a very nice park. The walk thru the dunes is very nice and the lake is very pretty.

Gorgeous!

Theyve built a nice new boardwalk trail through the dunes with a outlook on the lake.

My mother would take me there back in the sixties. So it is magical to me

Beautiful!! Take time out of your busy day and find a bench and sit a spell. The scenery is beautiful and peaceful. The climb to the top of the tower is worth it! Found a few small pieces of beach glass too :)

My favorite place to enjoy Lake Erie

Gorgeous area for a walk with amazing views of the harbor and the lake. People need to be more respectful and leave their mangy mutts at home! There are signs posted everywhere that says NO PETS. Nobody wants to walk on the trail and to have to dodge land mines.

Not Dog Friendly ... NO DOGS ALLOWED ... but since I traveled 500 miles to this park, and it wasnt tourist season, I decided to take a sneak preview myself. I walked up to the beginning of the trails (where the sand starts) so that I can see what is hidden behind the trees, and took some photos and turned around. Boy, I kind of wish I didnt, the view was amazing! I really wanted to hike the trails and get closer to the water, and experience and absorb it all in. If you can leave your dogs at home or if you dont have dogs, I recommend visiting this park. The trails are mostly sand, and the view is amazing. Too bad dogs are not allowed.

Nice day with family just relaxing at the beach

One of the coolest places on Lake Erie

Great lake front park running, walking, birding and of course sunbathing.

Beautiful beach on Lake Erie. A little rocky in places, but a wonderful place to catch sun, and swim when the water is warm enough. Access is fairly easy with a boardwalk taking you out to the beach.

I always enjoy a trip to headlands any time of year!! The beach is beautiful parking plentiful and its a great place to people watch.

I always enjoy going to Headland Beach because I enjoy the walking path.The beach area is a nice area. Theres a play area for the kids. They have grills with pavilions.

Scenic Beach on the North Shore of Ohio well-maintained plenty of parking easy to get to and lots of material Improvement on going on. a beautiful State Park

The park is getting better and better throughout the years. Happy to see that

Absolutely beautiful.

Big park with great walk way to take you directly to beach. Dunes are beautiful.

Amazing place to visit. Great birding, good fishing. Theyve done a lot of work to restore this area.

Very scenic, beautiful spot to relax and search the beach for sea glass and lucky stones. Someone should tell the wind its a lil too high though because it was FREEEEEEEEZING.

The boardwalk was so nice to the beach.

Beautiful Memorial Day Picnic at the Headlands.

Great place to walk, cookout, and play at beach.

They are doing a wonderful job getting it ready...I hope people who visit pick up their trash....to keep it nice for everyone

Nice park.

This is a pretty cool beach. Happened to be a little dirty when we were there. They were cleaning it up as we were there!

Had fun, sand was kinda hot on my feet, but had a great time once i put my boots on.

We had a very nice time and even seen a fox walking around

Great view of the light house and great view from the light house of the water and amazing fishing

Havent been there for a couple years. Love the new boardwalk and pergola

A little slice of paradise on Lake Erie. Diverse habitat for nature watching.

We visit every weekend in the summer. Fun in the sun and sand (which gets hot) bring your shoes/flip flops.

Our favorite Lake Erie beach!

Headlands is always wonderful, especially for sunset! Highly recommend visiting.

Beautiful place! Feels like you’re in Oregon or Florida

View is awesome. Great for walking and running.
