There's no shortage of beaches on the shores of the Great Lakes, but if you're looking for a more unique day trip or weekend destination, be sure to consider Lake Erie Islands in Ohio.
The most popular is South Bass Island and its charming village Put-in-Bay, which offers a choice of restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. Kelleys Island and Middle Bass Island are great choices if you are looking for even more peace and quiet. All of these islands can be reached aboard Miller Ferries from the mainland.
Kelleys Island weekend at a glance: stay at the Kelleys Island Venture Resort and relax on the Kelleys Island State Park beaches.
