Lake Erie harbor city and Cedar Point gateway
Sandusky sits on a bay of Lake Erie and is the mainland gateway to the Lake Erie Islands and the Cedar Point amusement park. Ferries and a harbor serve the waterfront.
Laid out in the early 1800s, Sandusky grew as a fishing, ice and shipping port on Lake Erie. Its downtown street grid is said to echo Masonic symbolism from its founders.
