Its most prominent feature is a large crescent-shaped pier made of concrete, stretching about a half mile out into Lake Erie. The pier is flanked by sandy beaches and man-made rock embankments. On most days, the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant can be seen from on the pier. Luna Pier now attracts tourists mainly due to fishing, although some visit because of the scenery and the small-town atmosphere.
