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 />

<strong>in</strong> the woods, try Jane Coates Wildflower<br />

Trail. Explore island shorel<strong>in</strong>e at Scheeff<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 />

Your To-Do List (F<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g Attractions)<br />

Whether you’re br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g your entire extended family or just com<strong>in</strong>g<br />

just places to eat and sip a cool dr<strong>in</strong>k… What’s on your “to-do list”?<br />

Are you a history detective? If you love history <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> is a great<br />

place to spend hours, even days <strong>in</strong>dulg<strong>in</strong>g your quest for knowledge.<br />

Learn about the important role the islands played <strong>in</strong> our nation’s<br />

history, from burial mounds to classic sports car road rac<strong>in</strong>g, tall<br />

ships to v<strong>in</strong>eyard estates, you’ll f<strong>in</strong>d it here.<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 />

on the Bass <strong>Island</strong>s. And then head to He<strong>in</strong>eman’s W<strong>in</strong>ery, the<br />

oldest rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g family owned w<strong>in</strong>ery <strong>in</strong> the state of Ohio. Explore<br />

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

savor a glass of island w<strong>in</strong>e. Complete your w<strong>in</strong>emak<strong>in</strong>g journey at<br />

the <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> W<strong>in</strong>ery on the Doller Estate. Tour the Doller House<br />

and <strong>Island</strong> Life Museum. It’s a rare glimpse <strong>in</strong>to life here <strong>in</strong> the 1800s.<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 />

through Saturday visit the OSU Aquatic Visitors Center, kids under 16<br />

fish for free! On Wednesdays OSU offers a Gibraltar <strong>Island</strong> (& Cooke’s<br />

Castle) tour leav<strong>in</strong>g from The Boardwalk at 10:45 a.m. ($16pp).<br />

Once you’ve got the “thank you gifts list” done, head on down the “AVE”<br />

to <strong>Bay</strong>view Gifts, then on to Misty <strong>Bay</strong> Boutique, <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> T-Shirt<br />

Shop, and Mar<strong>in</strong>er’s Locker. These wonderful stores carry brands like<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 />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> is at Sun Stoppers (the sunglass ladies). They have the<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 />

photographer Roman Sapeki, but they have the best “Don’t Give Up<br />

the Ship” selection on the island, from shirts to Tervis tumblers.<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 />

If you’re shopp<strong>in</strong>g with kids <strong>in</strong> tow, and they have lasted this long, tell<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 />

can take a ride on Kimberly’s Carousel, built <strong>in</strong> 1914 <strong>in</strong> Towanda,<br />

New York and still giv<strong>in</strong>g rides daily. This is one of the country’s<br />

oldest orig<strong>in</strong>al wooden carousels. You can even get a day pass for the<br />

kids! It’s on Delaware Ave., downtown <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

Parents all have the same mission when on vacation, keep<strong>in</strong>g your<br />

kids busy and engaged. A hands-on experience that lots of kids will<br />

enjoy is the Lake Erie <strong>Island</strong>s Nature and Wildlife Center. Snakes<br />

and birds and trails oh my….will keep your nature lover happy<br />

for hours. Check out their Wild Tuesdays for special “hands-on”<br />

experiences all summer long.<br />

For the spelunkers <strong>in</strong> your family, <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> has over 25 caves, two<br />

of which are open for tours daily. Crystal Cave, at the He<strong>in</strong>eman<br />

W<strong>in</strong>ery, is the world’s largest Celestite geode. The cave tour is part<br />

of the W<strong>in</strong>ery tour. You’ll marvel at the beauty of the crystals and the<br />

story of their discovery.<br />

Then across the street is Perry’s Cave. Head down fifty feet<br />

underground to see stalagtites and stalagmites and enjoy cool<br />

55-degree temperatures all season long. Perry’s Cave Family Fun<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g the week both Adventure <strong>Bay</strong> and the <strong>Put</strong>-<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Bay</strong> Resort<br />

pools are open to the entire family (adults only with a live DJ on the<br />

weekends).<br />

And away from all the hub-bub of downtown is the Crew’s Nest.<br />

They just renovated their outdoor pool areas, and have three pools:<br />

adult-only, full size, and a kid’s pool. The Crew’s Nest, which is a<br />

private club, allows for pool day membership passes dur<strong>in</strong>g the<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 />

Blu Luna offers outdoor garden and <strong>in</strong>door seat<strong>in</strong>g<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 />

happy you came.<br />

Cuban and Reuben sandwiches washed down with a delicious Brandy<br />

Alexander or cold draft beer. Many regulars staple a personalized<br />

dollar bill to their ceil<strong>in</strong>g which adds to that dive bar feel.<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 />
