Highlights of Ohio's Lake Erie Shore

Intriguing islands, amusement park thrills and wildlife-viewing areas draw thousands of visitors to this stretch of shore each year.

One of Ohio's best summer destinations is the 100-mile stretch of Lake Erie shore and resort towns between Toledo and Cleveland.

Marblehead and Catawba peninsulas curve into the lake and dissolve into a handful of islands, the largest of which are Kelleys, Middle Bass and South Bass, all accessible by ferry. Vacationers browse comfortable Victorian-Era towns known for their lighthouses and breezy harbors, and enjoy a taste of leisurely shore life.

South of the peninsulas, Sandusky draws visitors to its bay location with Cedar Point Amusement Park, the largest in the world, and three giant indoor water parks among its family-friendly resorts. And west of Sandusky is a lineup of natural places renowned for hikes and bird-watching.
