About Presque Isle State Park
Presque Isle is a long sandy peninsula curving into Lake Erie beside the city of Erie, with 11 numbered beaches. Lake Erie has spent a century tumbling the city's glass, and the park itself has run beach glass craft classes. Erie also hosts the Great Lakes Beach Glass and Coastal Arts Festival.
Sea glass at Presque Isle State Park
Small, smooth, pea-sized pieces, now fairly picked over. The rockier south-west beaches are best after a storm.
Visiting Presque Isle State Park
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and follow the collecting rules above.
