Things to do in Sandusky

Sandusky sits on a deep natural bay on the southern shore of Lake Erie, halfway between Toledo and Cleveland, and it has been a summer destination for well over a century. The city is home to Cedar Point, an amusement park on a long peninsula that is famous for its record-breaking roller coasters, and a cluster of indoor water park resorts that keeps visitors coming even in winter.
