Lake Erie Islands Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Marblehead Lighthouse in Marblehead, Ohio, United States, is the oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the American side of the Great Lakes.
Fairport harbor west breakwater light house in the middle of Lake Erie in blue hour.
Must visit! East Point is a short golf cart ride outside of town. Great Lake Erie views, quiet & peaceful.
Incredibly, I was lucky enough to not only stay here, but have my wedding on the Benson Ford. An old Great Lakes freighter converted into a private residence, this unreal home resides on South Bass Island near the Victorian village of Put-in-Bay, Ohio. If you ever get the chance to check out the island, it's definitely a must-visit. #TroveOnTuesday

This was perfect for a peaceful, quiet, get away. The pictures do not truly do justice to the beauty of the scenery. The condo was clean, well-equipped, and spacious. The wrap around balcony added to the experience! I would visit this condo again with one exception-for a longer stay! Thank you!
