Drive or walk to the far north end of the island. Cross the fence to the right. Walk north on the path. You will come to a secret area locals call seashell beach. It is all crushed shells, no sand. From there you can wade out to an island. There are also secret entrances to the caves but I haven't found them yet! We like to dock at the Boardwalk as it is cheaper and the accommodations are nicer. It may be full on a week-end though. There is lots to do there. Unfortunately Perry's Memorial is closed for renovations.

If you take the Jet Express out of Sandusky, you can hit both Kelleys Island and Put In Bay. Recommend golf cart rental on Kelleys then you can go see the glacier grooves

I'll PM you my number. Im an hour or so south.... RHC is the unofficial mayor of Sandusky bay and can probably help you more if you run into issues. Hope you and your family have a great trip!

You could always tip cows with Tommy Callahan!

I know every line in that movie! Callahan Auto Parts has been around since Tommy's great granddad hung out the first shingle......

The movie was set in Sandusky but actually filmed in Canada! I was at Cedar Point last summer and was looking for Tommy and Richard but they must have been out on sales calls!
