Headlands Beach State Park features a mile-long natural sand beach, the largest in the state.
In addition to its popularity during the summer season with picnickers and swimmers, the area is home to many plant species typically found only along the Atlantic Coast.
A federal breakwall is located at the east end of the park offering fishing opportunities for smallmouth, largemouth and rock bass; yellow perch; bluegill; walleye; coho salmon and carp. In addition, crappie, steelhead trout, sucker, catfish and bullhead are common catches.
