Budny Beach, formerly Beach 10, honors Patrick "Pat" Budny, who at age 17 became the first person to swim the 23 miles between Long Point, Ontario, Canada, and Presque Isle State Park. He completed the swim in 26 hours on August 20, 1975, arriving on this beach at 2:00 a.m. Timothy "Tim" Hughes, his companion for the swim, had to be pulled from the water because of exhaustion when only two miles from the shoreline, and because of strong lake currents, Budny actually swam 31 miles to complete the feat.
