- Eleven miles of sandy beaches are the main drawcard for the many tourists who come to Presque Isle State Park, but there are several other less obvious activities to keep visitors busy.
- You can try kite flying at Sunset Point or go hiking, skating, or cycling along the Karl Boyes Multi-purpose National Recreational Trail, which winds around the perimeter of the isle.
- Alternatively, you can take to the waters on a canoe or kayak to explore the many waterways and lagoons – equipment is available for hire near Perry Monument.
- Other activities are bird watching (Presque Isle is an important resting spot for migrating birds), searching for beach glass, and exploring the lighthouse on North Pier and the Presque Isle Lighthouse.
