A once very pleasant Headlands park is being damaged by irresponsible and defiant people.
Although it was good intent, the addition of the wheelchair boardwalk through the nature preserve on the east half has provided an easy path for people to trespass and bring property and garbage to the preserve which harbors rare or endangered species such as sandpipers..
Since the virus struck, people have been using the beach, particularly the eastern half, as their personal nightclub. They trespass overnight, start driftwood fires that burn for days, dump garbage, and leave property such as tents and umbrellas.
To be defiant, they knocked down an extra sign that was posted at the end of a main sand walk trail saying fires are illegal and started a fire in its place. It left an unseen smoldering fire in the sand where people walk barefoot to the water.
Even though numerous signs are posted saying it's illegal, people bring their dogs on the sand and into the nature preserve. When rangers used to patrol the beach regularly before about 2018, very few dared to bring dogs on the sand. The dog droppings contaminate the sand.
The sand used to be groomed much more frequently and there was once a larger contingent of workers who kept the beach clean. Lifeguards have been absent the past few years and the concession stand and ranger office appear to be closed indefinitely.
Overall, it's a good beach and beautiful park, but it has degraded due to a subset of irresponsible people and a lack of law enforcement and maintenance personnel.

First and foremost, this is not an ocean beach. The sand is coarse and the shoreline is loose pebbles.
They do a great job of keeping it clean,
Free parking is always a plus.
Restroom facilities off of the parking area, as well as a rinse shower and foot wash
They had a sand art exhibit with imported sand (see above)
I was there early in the morning to walk along the beach and the shore of Lake Erie
All and all a great visit

The beauty of the beach and the people of Mentor so nice. I been there 3 times and I just love it. Me and my sister went from Green Ohio 5 years ago after my mom passed. And I went 2 years ago with a friend and this Saturday July 17th 2021 for the rest of sand sculpture. Very nice.

We stumbled on they beach while looking for Fairport Harbor. Beach is free to get into and is huge. There were restrooms and a Snack Bar but it was closed. The beach was clean and not very crowded. The parking area was a little over grown and unkempt but other then that a nice place to spend the day.

Headlands Beach State Park was our 12th of the 88 state parks in Ohio that we've seen so far this year. We have a goal of seeing all of the state parks. There was a nice boarded walkway past sand dunes on the far right side of the park. This led to a view of Lake Erie and the Fairport Harbor Lighthouse. There was lots of driftwood on the beach. In some ways it looked more like the ocean than 1 of the 5 Great Lakes. There was also a paved trail outside of the beach with a rock stating that it was the Northern part of the Buckeye Trail. I liked the Weeping Willow and blossoming trees. The park was full of Canadian Geese. We saw some turtles on a log at a pond (not Lake Erie), as well as a large nest (maybe Osprey) while at the park too. We didn't go swimming this time cause it was Spring, but it's also a nice park/beach to swim at.

Stopped by while on the road to see the shore of Lake Erie. Cool park with a nice walkway leading to the shore. I imagine this place is fantastic in the summer.

Our family loves this beach!!!! We visit every time we are up north visiting in Mentor. It’s not a very clean beach though, we always have to watch where we walk.

Headlands Beach State Park was a great little place to get away and relax. We enjoyed exploring the area. We particularly loved walking across the breakwater to check out the lighthouse. I would love to know more about the owner (how cool would it be to own a lighthouse?!?). We enjoyed watching the guys on jet skis and sailboats go by. I loved collecting little pieces of the “sea glass”. If you dig picking through rocks the way I do, you’ll be content here.

Is there a cost

No- I feel like the guy in the commercial who just keeps saying "Free, free, free, free, free." Ohio State Parks are free gate admission. The beach is free, walking is free, the parking is free, and the rest rooms are free. The only cost would be using a vending machine, and I don't advise that anywhere. You may also be interested in Mentor Marsh right next door, another park which is also free.
What is the water quality for today

I agree with the other response. You have to check daily for the water quality report. Just google or search for it, should find it easily.
Is there a off leash dog area of the beach?

I forget the name, but there is one beach that includes off leash activities, but only one.
