You won't find an abundance of cars at this popular summer resort destination. Although vehicles are permitted on South Bass Island, parking is very limited. The alternative is to rent a bicycle or golf cart once you arrive. The main visitation season runs April through October; if you prefer fewer crowds, consider visiting Sunday through Thursday. Two ferries provide transportation from the mainland. Jet Express Ferry, (800) 245-1538, carries passengers from Port Clinton and Sandusky to the island May through October. Miller Boat Line, (419) 285-2421 or (800) 500-2421, transports passengers and automobiles late March through November from Catawba Island. In addition to its extensive access to Lake Erie, the island's other claim to fame is Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial , just outside the village. Learn More...
