If you had to pick your favorite beach in Ohio, what beach would you pick?
One of our favorite beaches is hiding in a small coastal town, where the beautiful waves of Lake Erie crash ashore and the sunsets have never been more captivating. Nickel Plate Beach in Huron, Ohio is a hidden gem to passerby and a beloved secret among locals. From the amenities to the views, this is one little beach that will steal your heart. Take a look:
Tucked away behind several cottages you’ll find Nickel Plate Beach in the small coastal town of Huron.
Jess_Marie2015/Trip Advisor It’s located at 1 Nickel Plate Dr., Huron, OH 44839.
It’s a gorgeous Lake Erie beach that simply doesn’t get enough attention. (And locals would probably like to keep it that way.)
psalms3115/Trip Advisor Note: There is no lifeguard on duty, so don’t visit alone and swim at your own risk.
In addition to some beach volleyball nets, you’ll find some playground equipment for the little ones.
kaydub86/Trip Advisor It’s the perfect spot to have a beach day with the whole family. You can even bring the dog. (Just keep him on a leash and clean up after him.)
In the distance, you’ll spot the Huron Harbor Lighthouse, which you can see up close if you choose. It’s a short drive away and makes for a beautiful walk.
Stacie H/Trip Advisor Also nearby, the popular Sand Bar serves up some tasty lunch and dinner options you should check out while you’re in town.
Note: There is a small parking fee and the lot is a short walk from the beach.
stim81/Trip Advisor Beach Water Quality Testing is conducted by the Erie County Health Department, with results posted on their website, which you can find here.
Of course, it’s also not a bad place to watch the sun set at the end of the day.
