Off the shores of Sandusky Ohio in Lake Erie are a string of islands well
known in the area as a party destination in the summer months. While visiting,
my brother took us on a site seeing tour of Kellys Island and South Bass
Island. Kellys was the first stop. Kellys is a bit quieter than South Bass
Island. The total population for year round residents is about 400. It is the
largest of the American Islands. |

The main mode of transportation is golf carts, although you can bring your
car over by Ferry but why. It isn't big enough to need a car. Kellys Island
is a bit more laid back and quiet. There are a number of restaurants and
bars on Kellys Island but no where near as many as Put In Bay on South Bass
Island. After a few hours on Kellys we boarded the ferry again for Put In
Bay on South Bass Island and lunch of Lake Erie Perch and Walleye. I always
have to get some perch when I go back to Ohio. |

Put in Bay is famous for its bars and probably the most well known is the
Round House Bar. Put in Bay gets very crowded on weekend nights in the
summer. Here some visitors see my camera and get silly. South Bass Island
is about 3-1/2 miles long and1-1/2 wide. We rode around it on a golf cart
again. We were there during the middle of the week and it was not real
crowded. But it was incredibly hot and humid. |
