Nice little park that has tremendous views of a Lake Erie sunset. Not to far from Port Clinton. Great place to launch a boat. Full review by Greg B

most of the beaches on Catawba Island our Pebble Beach is so small round stones an inch to 2 inches in diameter. That makes the water very clean but walking on the beach and sitting on the small stones is not necessarily comfortable.

Sandy beaches exist in the Gem Beach area, on South Bass and Kelley’s Islands and at East Harbor State Park on Marblehead.
