Sandusky

Cedar Point, one of the world's most visited amusement parks, sits on a peninsula just outside this Lake Erie port city in Erie County, Ohio. Sandusky developed as a port town in the early 19th century and retains a heritage-dense centre with many listed historic buildings and churches along its southern lakeshore. Several water parks, including Cedar Point Shores and Kalahari, add to the draw for those making the trip between Toledo and Cleveland.
