Put in Bay on South Bass Island is a favorite summer escape on Lake Erie, reachable by ferry from the Ohio mainland.

Rent a golf cart, visit Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial, and enjoy waterfront dining. Nearby Kelleys Island offers quieter beaches and famous glacial grooves.

Pin Tip

Check ferry schedules in advance, especially early and late in the season.

Plan Your Visit

Check official websites for current hours, admission, parking, and seasonal events before you go, since schedules can change. Weekday mornings are often the least crowded time to visit popular attractions.

Make a Day of It

Pair your visit with a meal at a local restaurant or a stop at a nearby shop. Supporting local businesses helps keep these communities vibrant for future visitors.
