About Jackson Street Pier

Jackson Street Pier is a public waterfront park and event space in Sandusky, Ohio, serving as a ferry docking site for Goodtime I, Jet Express, and the Pelee Islander. The venue offers a flexible, open layout rather than a fixed seating chart, with benches along the boardwalk and room for a variety of events—from waterfront celebrations to island departures. Whether you’re planning a festival, concert, or a casual waterfront gathering, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan your visit.

Address notes vary in listings, commonly cited as 233 W Shoreline Dr, Sandusky, OH 44870, with occasional references to 221 W Shoreline Dr or 240 Columbus Ave. For navigation, use the main public waterfront access at Jackson Street Pier in Sandusky.

Parking at Jackson Street Pier has evolved with redevelopment. Expect fewer spaces than in the past — roughly 100 on-site, with additional nearby options depending on event size. Transit access is available via TRIPS, Sandusky County’s curb-to-curb service, which operates weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call 419-332-8091 for scheduling and accessibility needs. For a convenient visit, consider nearby hotel and dining partners—great for pre- or post-event stays and meals.

Nearby hotels include Cedar Point resort properties (Hotel Breakers, Castaway Bay, Lighthouse Point, Express Hotel), Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky, and Kalahari Resorts Sandusky. We recommend secure your rooms through our trusted hotel partners for best availability and packages. When planning food and drink, explore local eateries and our affiliate restaurant partners for easy dining options in the Sandusky area.

Note: There is no fixed seating at the pier. Benches along the boardwalk provide casual seating, while event layouts may use temporary stages and crowd-friendly configurations. If you’re attending a ferry departure or waterfront celebration, arrive early to enjoy the views and secure a comfortable spot along the water.
