Headlands Beach State Park is Ohio's longest natural beach, spanning over a mile of natural sands along the state's Lake Erie coastline. The beach has been named as the best beach in the state by The Cleveland Plain Dealer and attracts over two million annual visitors, ranked as a popular tourist spot by visitors from both the American Midwest and Canada. Popular summer recreational activities include fishing, swimming, and picnicking, with a shelter house, barbecue grills, and a children's playground provided for visitor use. Two nature trails are offered throughout the park, including the 1.5-mile ADA-accessible Buckeye Trail. During the winter months, the park is a favorite spot for cross-country skiing and sledding.
