Pages – About Us – Caddy Shack Square

The whole family can enjoy Caddy Shack Square.

Start your day off right your favorite latte or cappuccino at Taste by the Lake coffee / bakery / cafe. Rent a golf cart or bikes at Caddy Shack Rentals (the booth near the street) and tool around the island on "KI Time" for a couple hours. Then head to the Caddy Shack Restaurant & Bar (or Buckeye Patio Bar for the Ohio State fans) for the best pizza around (you have to try the turkey sub also!) Or watch the kids play Putt-Putt at our renovated old-fashioned style 18-hole course from the Sand Trap Tiki Bar (dig your toes in the sand) or discover gems, fossil and arrowheads at the Gem Mining Station.(purchase your mining supplies at the Island Mining Co.)

While you are waiting for your pizza, mill around in the shopping area for a new t-shirt or souvenir, check out the newest tie dye garments from 2 Hippies Dyein'. Perhaps a trinket for the wife or girlfriend from the Gems n Jewels section of The Island Mining Co. Both kids and adults alike love this Rock Shop and Gem Mining for exploring rocks, gems stones and fossils.

After lunch, you might have a little time for yourself, so head to The Little Healing Room Wellness Center for a relaxing massage or couples de-stress Acupuncture. On your way out, pick up some organic, gluten-free snacks for the beach, stock up on pure essential oils, body lotions or scrubs and fragrances. Need something for that hangover? Grab a box of Booze Remedy Tea or homeopathic remedy. Need something for allergies or poison ivy? The Healing Seed Shoppe has your health and wellness supplies.

Now is a good time to head for the beach! After a hot day at Sand Beach or a hike around the quarry (don't forget the poison ivy soap), you will definitely want to head to Dipper Dan's Ice Cream Stand for a refreshing hand-dipped Toft's ice cream after the beach (which is a regional favorite-("Only the Best!") and enjoy your cone sitting on one of the picnic tables overlooking the Putt-Putt's water feature!

Leave your stress behind...your relaxing day on a small down-to-earth, back-to-nature island in Lake Erie awaits your arrival!

HISTORY

PRESENT

Caddy Shack Square is a must stop complex, conveniently

located right in the heart of downtown Kelleys Island. The

square was designed for laid-back family fun.

Be sure to bring the entire family and spend the

afternoon shopping, hang out at the patio bar and

restaurant, bakery/coffee/café, play a round at the 18-

hole putt-putt, enjoy our game room, gem mining station

or relax at our wellness center or rent one of our electric

golf carts or bikes. Customers often relax and enjoy their

Dipper Dan’s Ice Cream at one of our picnic tables near

the pond under the shade on a hot summer day, while

listening to the waterfall. It doesn’t get any better than

that!

Caddy Shack Golf Cart and Bike Rentals offers quiet, and

eco-friendly (no fumes) electric carts in 2, 4, and 6 seat

variety and adult-sized gearless bikes. Stop by the sales

booth, located near the sidewalk at the entrance of Caddy

Shack Square, across the drive from the old-fashioned 18

hole Putt-Putt and Dipper Dan’s Ice Cream Stand.

The Little Healing Room is offering Massage Therapy,

Acupuncture and Reiki. The Healing Seed offers

supplements, homeopathic remedies, aromatherapy,

organic and gluten free snacks.

Caddy Shack Square is easy to reach by foot from either

ferry, only 2 blocks west or left when exiting the Kelleys
