Cave Point County Park

The park is open everyday from 8 to 5.

Whenver we go up to Door County - whether to pick cherries or to relax on Washington Island - we almost always stop at Cave Point Park to get amazed at the way the lake pounds under the shore, creating these unique "caves" down below. It's hard to get tired watching the work of waves...

Egg Harbor Marina

The Village of Egg Harbor is coming into its own as Door County’s most popular cruising destination. It offers the best deep-water sailing access on the Peninsula. In the last few years, the Village has built a new marina, expanded and improved the public beach, and renovated Harbor View Park. The marina lies in the heart of the village, within an easy walk of many restaurants and shops.

Such a fun place to kayak. Easy put in and take out. The shore line is scenic. There is also a pretty beach here with changing room and bathroom facilities. There are many choices to get a quick bite to eat.

Peninsula State Park is a Wisconsin treasure. Biking and hiking trails, a comfortable beach, a historic stop at the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, serene drives and camping grounds. It is a must stop for us every single time we visit Door County.

Whitefish Dunes State Park

Reviewed By ChicaGracie

Lovely state park with beach access near protected sand dunes. There are multiple hiking paths, all of which are hilly, past dunes and through woods or wildflower fields. Lots of birds and insects to observe. A lovely park for a walk, job or run. So Much Poison Ivy! But if you stay on the trails, you will be fine.

Ellison Bluff State Natural Area

Reviewed By laurajuarez - Gurnee, United States

Quick detour off highway 47 leads you into a beautiful road with more than one tree bisecting the road. The overlook is right off the parking lot and breathtaking view of Lake Michigan. There are other longer paths that can be hiked too.

Alpine Beach

Reviewed By Markandjennie - Appleton, United States

We were looking for beach area, and found this close to our hotel. Its small for sure but nice water area. U can rent small boats like kayaks. Parking is right at the beach. Restrooms are available right there, and covered sitting areas as well if want to eat and look out over harbor. Its not big but serves its purpose

Waterfront Park

Reviewed By Nomad592758 - Sister Bay, United States

What a wonderful beach and park in the middle of downtown Sister Bay. The best amenities and food and shopping close by. No other location compares. Free parking close by. Wonderful place for younger kids with a park and playground equipment adjacent to the beach.
