Welcome to<br />
One of a K<strong>in</strong>d<br />
<strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> is a one-of-a-k<strong>in</strong>d, iconic place to visit, always fun and<br />
always different. A year-round community and summer resort,<br />
<strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> is located on an Ohio island <strong>in</strong> the western bas<strong>in</strong> of Lake<br />
Erie. <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> and the Bass <strong>Island</strong>s have attracted hundreds of<br />
thousands of visitors s<strong>in</strong>ce the 1860s when Jose DeRivera firmly<br />
established our island bus<strong>in</strong>ess of grape grow<strong>in</strong>g and w<strong>in</strong>e mak<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
People have been board<strong>in</strong>g boats to visit us ever s<strong>in</strong>ce, and<br />
enterta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g guests is what we enjoy do<strong>in</strong>g most.<br />
Most visitors and even islanders refer to South Bass <strong>Island</strong> today<br />
simply as <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong>. We’re part of a cluster of 14 islands grouped<br />
together <strong>in</strong> Lake Erie’s western bas<strong>in</strong> broadly known as the Lake<br />
Erie <strong>Island</strong>s. Three of the islands, which the British named the Bass<br />
<strong>Island</strong>s, are part of that cluster. The fun starts with your ferry ride.<br />
An Eclectic Mix<br />
Once here, the Village of <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> is just a short distance from the<br />
ma<strong>in</strong> port of entry docks. The Village of <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> has an eclectic<br />
mix of Victorian, early <strong>in</strong>dustrial, mid-century modern, and nautically<br />
themed build<strong>in</strong>gs downtown filled with shops, taverns, sports bars,<br />
and restaurants.<br />
We’re certa<strong>in</strong> that Commodore Oliver H. Perry would have never<br />
imag<strong>in</strong>ed what his historic naval victory off the shores of our island <strong>in</strong><br />
the War of 1812 would have led to <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> be<strong>in</strong>g such a great place<br />
to vacation. Perry’s ship, the beautiful Brig Niagara which sails out of<br />
Erie PA, calls <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> its second home.<br />
While you’re here you must visit Perry’s Victory and International<br />
Peace Memorial. It is THE iconic symbol of <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong>. Recognizable<br />
<strong>in</strong> ads and publications used nationwide to promote the Lake Erie<br />
<strong>Island</strong>s. Our National Park Service manages this historic site, which<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ues to commemorate 200+ years of peace between USA, Great<br />
Brita<strong>in</strong> and Canada. Everyone who comes to the island should plan<br />
time to see the 352-foot tall monument.<br />
<strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong><br />
festivals, special events, getaways and<br />
awesome shopp<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
We love day-trippers, weekenders, tour<br />
groups and adventurers. Everyone loves<br />
to explore the island by golf cart, bicycle<br />
and kayak. Rent any or all while visit<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong>, or br<strong>in</strong>g your own. For a walk<br />

Golf Carts/Bikes<br />
Once you get to <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> you’ll see folks on golf carts cruis<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
island. The laughter and good times go by our door all season long. Golf<br />
carts have become the most popular mode of island transportation.<br />
There’s someth<strong>in</strong>g about the slow pace and w<strong>in</strong>d <strong>in</strong> your face that<br />
br<strong>in</strong>gs out the <strong>in</strong>ner child. We love the joy that this represents for<br />

Have a great time explor<strong>in</strong>g the island. You will need to be a licensed<br />

Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial visitor center<br />
is a great place to start your island journey. Enjoy a movie about the<br />
1813 Battle of Lake Erie and immerse yourself <strong>in</strong> a beautiful photo<br />
exhibit about the construction of the monument from 1912-15 by<br />
local island photographer Otto Herbster.<br />
Very few realize that the prosperity of the islands, the reason why<br />
we are here, was built on the shoulders of grape grow<strong>in</strong>g and w<strong>in</strong>e<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g v<strong>in</strong>eyard owners. You’ll have to see Stonehenge, the last<br />
rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g V<strong>in</strong>eyard Estate built dur<strong>in</strong>g the heydays of w<strong>in</strong>emak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the history of w<strong>in</strong>emak<strong>in</strong>g, watch how it’s made today and then<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ally, enjoy a gorgeous waterfront view while sampl<strong>in</strong>g their w<strong>in</strong>es.<br />
If maritime history draws you <strong>in</strong> or you’re a lighthouse lover, you<br />
have got to check out the South Bass <strong>Island</strong> Lighthouse, now owned<br />
by The Ohio State University. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the summer on Mondays and<br />
Tuesdays you can take a tour of the lighthouse, but the grounds are<br />
always open. When you’re <strong>in</strong> <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> this summer, Wednesday<br />

Columbia, Sperry, and North Face. Swimsuits, shoes, and apparel for<br />
ladies of leisure, crew or that special “Capta<strong>in</strong>” of your boat.<br />
Probably the most important fashion stop on your shopp<strong>in</strong>g trip here<br />

high-end sunglass brands like Maui Jim and OAKLEY for you, as well<br />
as budget-friendly designs for the entire family.<br />
Because the weather is always sunny <strong>in</strong> <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong>, you may have<br />
“forgotten” your summer fashion wear, or perhaps you blew out a<br />
flip-flop or stepped on a pop-top. “Shoot the curl” at the <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong><br />
Surf Shop. They have swimsuits, surf wear, and some really cool<br />
sandals and summer shoes.<br />
If you’re look<strong>in</strong>g for a very special gift, head over to the Lobster Trap<br />
at the Boardwalk. They feature chic apparel and nautical home gifts<br />
from Mariposa. If you’re on a golf cart you should also check out the<br />
amaz<strong>in</strong>g gift shop at Stonehenge Estate too. They feature unique<br />
period and w<strong>in</strong>e-related gifts.<br />
Our Lake Erie <strong>Island</strong>s Historical Society has a “pickers” dream<br />
Resale Shop. This is the place for those with an eye for local history<br />
treasures, or maybe just a great deal on a table and set of chairs.<br />
Don’t Give Up (the shopp<strong>in</strong>g) Trip, yet! You have to go to the<br />
Country House. Not only do they feature custom art pr<strong>in</strong>ts by local<br />

Lots of folks like to collect cool dest<strong>in</strong>ation tee shirts. You can pick up<br />
your “island” tee shirt for your next vacation from The Bucket Shop<br />
at the Round House, or <strong>in</strong>side at the Frosty Bar.<br />

them you’ll take them to the Sticker Shack and Local Color, down at<br />
The Keys. There, they can f<strong>in</strong>d some awesome PIB and Great Lakes<br />
themed stickers while you try on some nice boat wear at Local Color.<br />

Freshwater Sensations, across from the airport. They sell spa gifts,<br />
massages, and essential oils. They also sell locally-made jewelry and<br />
Birkenstock sandals.<br />
If fish<strong>in</strong>g or boat<strong>in</strong>g is what brought you to the islands, you can<br />
get fish<strong>in</strong>g tackle, licenses and other boat<strong>in</strong>g “essentials” at The<br />
Wharfside, and you can shop there while enjoy<strong>in</strong>g a cold beer and a<br />
sandwich.<br />
At the end of your “island (S)hopp<strong>in</strong>g” trip is a sweet treat wait<strong>in</strong>g at<br />
the Candy Bar. Enjoy hand-dipped chocolates, fudge, and ice cream.<br />
It’s kid-friendly and features lots of unusual novelty candy. It’s a great<br />
way to f<strong>in</strong>ish a good say of shopp<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Family Friendly Fun<br />
We love when history and enterta<strong>in</strong>ment cross paths. Kids of all ages<br />

A lot of our outdoor friends that visit like to paddle their kayaks<br />
before breakfast, ride their bikes around the island ‘til lunch, then go<br />
jump waves on a jet ski before d<strong>in</strong>ner! Then just for fun the next day<br />
they play <strong>in</strong> a 6x6 soccer tournament. If this sounds like somebody<br />
you know, do we have the perfect outdoor island dest<strong>in</strong>ation for you.<br />

It’s a beautiful day, so start out at <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> Parasail<strong>in</strong>g. It’s like<br />
parachut<strong>in</strong>g, only <strong>in</strong> slow motion. You can see the island from the sky<br />
while be<strong>in</strong>g pulled along by a speedboat. Get wet if you want, or not.<br />
Or check out the island from above with Paratus Air. Helicopter tours<br />
of the islands and surround<strong>in</strong>g areas depart from the <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong><br />
airport. What a view!<br />
Then head over to the Miyo’s Jet Ski Rental next to the <strong>Bay</strong>shore<br />
Resort (close to downtown). Once you have passed the operator’s<br />
overview quiz, saddle up because it’s time to get wet. No red-blooded<br />
adventure type can pass up this wet fun.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Paddleboard<strong>in</strong>g rental is also right downtown. Grab a paddle,<br />
board, lifejacket and venture across the <strong>in</strong>ner harbor. The view from<br />
our harbor of the shorel<strong>in</strong>e and Gibraltar <strong>Island</strong> is <strong>in</strong>credible and the<br />
water there is always just a bit warmer than the lake, too.<br />
If you want it all, just head west to the <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> Watercraft rental<br />
at the South Bass <strong>Island</strong> State Park. Located on a pebble beach with<br />
a great lawn for beach towel sun tanners, there’s also a lake swimm<strong>in</strong>g<br />
area there. They rent powerboats, jet skis, kayaks, and paddle boards.<br />
After your morn<strong>in</strong>g of adventure perhaps you’re look<strong>in</strong>g for a par<br />
three afternoon. Time to check out Saunders Golf Course. I know<br />
little about golf, but I did learn to drive golf carts while visit<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>. Golf looks like fun, especially while watch<strong>in</strong>g from the porch at<br />
Joe’s Bar after n<strong>in</strong>e holes!<br />
Fish or cut bait, if you’re look<strong>in</strong>g to br<strong>in</strong>g d<strong>in</strong>ner home with you, you<br />
will need to spend some quality time fish<strong>in</strong>g. Capta<strong>in</strong> Bruce’s <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Fish<strong>in</strong>g Charter, oldest fish<strong>in</strong>g charter on the island with over 35<br />
years of experience, knows where to f<strong>in</strong>d them. He provides the bait,<br />
the boat, and the equipment. All you need to do is show up ready!<br />
If you’re com<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong>, be sure to br<strong>in</strong>g your swimsuit, we<br />
have two great bath<strong>in</strong>g beaches. You may go home wet, but you’ll be<br />

Down at the other end of the village docks is the Key West <strong>in</strong>fluenced,<br />
pet friendly waterfront dest<strong>in</strong>ation called The Keys. Locals<br />
