Marblehead is a village in Ottawa County, Ohio, United States.

It sits at the tip of the Marblehead Peninsula, which divides Lake Erie proper from Sandusky Bay.

[4] Marblehead is part of the area that is referred to regionally as Vacationland (which includes nearby Sandusky and the Lake Erie Islands) due to the large number of tourists who flock to the area in the summer months.

It remains a popular vacation destination due to its lake frontage, ferry service to the Lake Erie Islands, quality sport fishery, the nearby Lakeside Chautauqua, and the Cedar Point amusement park.

The blocks of stone used to construct the Stannard Rock Light on Lake Superior were cut at Marblehead and hauled to the site from 1877 to 1881.

[6] Marblehead, as with much of the Great Lakes region, has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa), characterized by four distinct seasons.

Lake Erie moderates the climate, especially in late spring and fall, when air and water temperature differences are maximal.

Marblehead's economy benefits from its lakefront situation, with its fishing, boating, and recreational tourism industries providing employment opportunities for many locals.

The regional tourist economy is anchored by attractions like Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay, and Kelleys Island.

Nearby Lakeside Chautauqua and Bay Point Resort serve as lakefront destinations as well.

Marblehead contains many summer and second homes that residents of nearby Toledo, Cleveland, and Columbus visit during the tourist season.

Quarrying is also a large part of Marblehead's economy as it is a major limestone producer in the region.
