Shores and Islands Ohio adds webcam at Marblehead Lighthouse
SANDUSKY - Shores and Islands Ohio, the destination marketing organization for Erie and Ottawa counties, has launched its eighth webcam, featuring Lake Erie views online.
The all-new Marblehead Lighthouse cam is live, with views of the lighthouse and pointing northeast towards Lake Erie, perfect for capturing the sunrise each morning. The webcam page, viewable at SHORESandISLANDS.com, is the most popular page on the site, visited more than 640,000 times in 2022. The much-loved webcams account for more than 20% of website traffic and visitors to the page spend upwards of 5 minutes taking in the views at each visit.
Other locations where Shores and Islands Ohio operate webcams include downtown Sandusky (mounted on the Sandusky State Theatre), Catawba Island (mounted at the Catawba Island Club), the Huron Pier, Lakeside Chautauqua (mounted on the historic Hotel Lakeside), Put-in-Bay Harbor (facing Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial), Port Clinton City Beach, and Vermilion’s Main Street Beach. When a visitor clicks on a particular webcam for a live view, it directs them to an informational page about the community which hosts the camera and opens up the camera view to a larger screen.
