VisitErie

In Erie, the good life can be what you want it to be.

More than a beach on a Great Lake.

Here, lakeside chill meets small-city spark. Charming local shops line the streets, and miles of sandy beaches line the shore. Whether you’re looking for an active trip to stretch your legs or to put your feet up and watch the sun go down, memories are simply waiting to be made in Erie, Pennsylvania’s only Great Lakes port city.

At the heart of Erie is the lake that shares its name – a one-of-a-kind place to forget the day-to-day, with scenic trails to wander, miles of sandy beaches, and just about every water activity you could fathom. Take all of that and combine it with a cool, small-city charm brimming with unique shops, cultural happenings, and mouth-watering dining, and you’ll find a destination where visitors experience their version of The Good Life.

Located on beautiful Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie, Erie is a short drive from the major metropolitan areas of Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Toronto via Interstates 79, 90 or scenic routes such as Route 5 (The Great Lakes Seaway Trail – An America’s Byway™), and historic Pennsylvania Route 6. Erie County is home to approximately 260,000 residents and offers a wide range of fun, affordable things to do. Erie’s easy-to-navigate street system allows for little to no traffic headaches, making it effortless to get from point to point.
