Lake Erie Islands: Island Idyll - Port Clinton OH Weekend Getaway

Preview: It doesn’t take long to reach the Lake Erie Islands—just a short ferryboat ride from Port Clinton or Sandusky—but you’ll swear you’ve traveled much farther. There’s an otherworldly feeling about this string of islands 12 miles from Sandusky. The movie Somewhere in Time may have been filmed on Michigan’s Mackinac Island, but it could easily have taken place here. The islands’ Victorian ambience is a large part of their charm. Other pleasures include sailing (the islands are a big destination for Great Lakes boaters), unspoiled scenery, lively waterfront restaurants, historic sites, and more. Each island tends to appeal to a different type of person, so that one is sure to be right for you. The detailed itinerary in this chapter is a driving tour that features extensive recommendations for sightseeing attractions, recreational activities, lodging, restaurants, shopping, and more.
