Put-in-Bay is a village on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. This granite island has several tiny beaches on its rocky shoreline, but only two are open to the public.

One of the largest beaches is located at the end of Catawba Ave at South Bass Island State Park. This stone pebble beach has jet ski and boat rentals on site, a playground area for kids, public restrooms, and picnic tables.

There is also a small secluded beach downtown, at the end of Delaware Ave. All beaches are made of large pebbles and provide a pleasant breeze at all times.
