Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, is a premier day-use state park and the state’s only seashore, spanning roughly 3,200 acres of beaches, trails, and a bayfront setting. The park offers diverse activities—from sunbathing on sandy shores to hiking scenic trails and exploring the Tom Ridge Environmental Center (TREC), your gateway to the peninsula’s natural wonders.

Whether you’re planning a family day, a scenic stroll, or a concert at Beach 11, we’ve got you covered with practical details about seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and restaurant options to make your visit seamless.

Presque Isle’s vibrant event calendar includes the UPMC Sunset Music Series at Beach 11, Discover Presque Isle Week, and Presque Isle After Dark, along with seasonal DCNR programs.
