Northeast Ohio is full of a variety of fun and exciting activities in the summer. While there are plenty of events all year round, summer is where Cleveland and the Northeast Ohio area thrives.

‍

You’ll find opportunities to enjoy beaches, watch sunsets, find great food, and listen to popular artists at music festivals and concerts.

‍

Enjoy Local Cuisine

There’s nothing better than enjoying a delicious meal and some drinks by the Cuyahoga river in downtown Cleveland on a patio. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly patio, consider Lindey’s Lake House. This restaurant is near the Main Avenue Bridge and has perfect seating for a day on the patio. There’s a ping pong table and wonderful seafood.

‍

Another great choice from the Flats is Merwin’s Wharf. It is located in Rivergate Park and there is a large bar area with tables and chairs right next to the river. They have some tasty seafood sandwiches, comforting mac n cheese, and 1.5 pound pretzels!

‍

Bascule Bridge Grille is a fun choice for a more upscale but casual experience of creative cuisine. You typically do have to make a reservation, but it is well worth the experience.

‍

As movers, we understand how busy the days can be, so we definitely recommend taking some time to treat yourself with a great view and food.

Attend a Guardians Game

Watching a baseball game in person offers a level of excitement and engagement that can't be replicated through a television broadcast. You can feel the energy of the crowd, experience the atmosphere of the stadium, and enjoy the thrill of every pitch, hit, and catch.

‍

You can support your local team by attending a game and cheering for the team. There is a wide variety of food available throughout the stadium. One of the best parts of the game is the Hot Dog Derby where the mascots, Ketchup, Mustard, and Onion race around the field. You can expect the possibility of free shirts, hats, or even a foul ball!

‍

Escaping our daily lives is important as well. Attending a live baseball game allows you to take a break from daily routines and immerse yourself in a different environment. It's a chance to enjoy some leisure time, relax, and be entertained. Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan or simply looking for a fun outing, the game can provide an enjoyable escape.

‍

Huntington Beach, Bay Village: Another Lake Erie beach, Huntington Beach in Bay Village, offers a serene setting to watch the sunset. The expansive shoreline and the pier provide excellent vantage points for capturing the colors of the sky as the sun sets.

Mentor Headlands Beach State Park, Mentor: As Ohio's longest natural beach, Mentor Headlands Beach State Park offers a vast expanse of sandy shoreline where you can witness beautiful sunsets. The park also has observation decks and picnic areas, providing ample space to enjoy the view.

‍

The Ledges, Cuyahoga Valley National Park: The Ledges area in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park offers a unique setting for watching sunsets. These sandstone cliffs provide a stunning backdrop as the sun dips below the horizon, casting vibrant hues across the sky.

‍

These are just some of the best locations for watching the sunset, but you can find a spot in many different areas of Northeast Ohio.
