In my home town, we have Presque Isle which gives us 5 miles of pristine beach
Animals, birds, and humans all love the Penninsula

The beach is on one side of the Penninsula and the other is the bay.
I grew up in a relatively small home. But when I was growing up we were a tourist spot. The penninsula provided swimming, boating, water skiing, and walking in the woods and finding deer. We cross country skied there. Erie is small and it is not a rich city, but I will tell you that you can’t find better, nicer or friendlier people anywhere. Most of my friends have moved out and around the country. We still keep in touch. I hope you enjoyed your tour.

This reminds me about the coast of North Carolina, more particularly, Cedar Island where I spent summers.
I have two of my daughters who live in NC. My home town is Erie, Pa.
