Welcome to Put-in-Bay! Celebrate Island Style"

Discover an island oasis situated between the shores of the United States and Canada. Put-in-Bay has been an ideal stopping point for boaters ever since Native Americans “put in at the bay” during their many journeys across Lake Erie. Since 1864 the island has been a tourist destination and millions of visitors have enjoyed the small town quality and quaintness of this island resort community.

Put-in-Bay offers a wide variety of activities for the entire family: A narrated island tour aboard the Island Tour Tram, Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial and Visitor’s Center, charter fishing, nine holes of golf, a historical museum, a tour of a historic island winery, a Butterfly House, 18 holes of miniature golf, gem mining, an antique car museum, an “island life” museum, kayaking, jet skiing, parasailing, and an aquatic resource center and fish hatchery.

Put-in-Bay boasts a wide array of restaurants and eateries from fine waterfront dining featuring fresh seafood and steaks, to open-pit barbequed chicken and great burgers, fries and the famous Frosty’s Pizza all within walking distance of the Jet Express downtown dock.

Put-in-Bay is a shopper’s paradise with an eclectic mix of independently owned shops filled with many unique items. The majority of shops are located in the Victorian- Era styled downtown, and within walking distance of the Jet Express downtown dock.
