Jackson Street Pier is a great place to catch a sunset or the Pelee Islander ferry to, oddly enough, Pelee Island, Canada. Great place to have a little island winery adventure just across the border. #WeekendGetaway

Sandusky and related destinations

Scream with delight on Cedar Point's legendary roller coasters, where thrill-seekers find their paradise along Lake Erie's shores. The Merry-Go-Round Museum offers a whimsical journey through carousel history when your stomach needs a break from loop-de-loops. Kayak the bay's calm waters or fish off the downtown pier where locals claim winter brings the best catches. The surprisingly pretty downtown waterfront invites leisurely exploration between adrenaline rushes. For water-based fun without waves, Kalahari Waterpark Resort and Cedar Point Shores create artificial summers year-round. Ghostly Manor Thrill Center delivers haunted house chills without seasonal restrictions, while Maritime Museum chronicles the lake's sometimes treacherous relationship with those who've navigated its waters.
