Views that will make you want to stop at Beach #7 at Presque Isle

I’ll be honest and admit that I really didn’t know what to expect for my first visit to Erie, PA.

I knew that Erie was by the water, but I had no idea how much beauty the area had to offer including beautiful beaches.

My favorite part of our kayak trip was being able to get up close to the turtles sunbathing on a log.

After our kayak trip, we drove to Beach #7 (Waterworks Beach) at Presque Isle which really blew me away.

Pick Your Favorite Beach

There are 11 beaches on Presque Isle that each varies with amenities and parking.

I assumed that any view would be nice because we were by the water, but I didn’t realize that these types of amazing views were available in northwestern Pennsylvania!

Our time at beach #7 was shorter than I would have liked, but it made an unforgettable impression on me!
