Put-in-Bay Village is located on the northern tip of South Bass Island, and encompasses the downtown area that Put-in-Bay is famous for, such as the bars and restaurants, shops and hotels. Put-in-Bay Township governs the broader area of not just South Bass Island, but 13 other islands, 5 of which have people living on them.
