With its quaint coastal towns, stunning landscapes, and unique attractions, Door County has earned a reputation as one of the Midwest’s premier vacation spots.

1. Scenic Beauty
Door County’s natural beauty is simply breathtaking. The peninsula boasts over 300 miles of shoreline, making it a haven for beach lovers, hikers, and photographers alike. Visit spots like Cave Point County Park, where limestone cliffs rise dramatically above the waters of Lake Michigan, or take a leisurely hike through Peninsula State Park, which offers panoramic views of the bay and lush, wooded trails.

Door County is made up of 19 charming little towns, each with its own unique character. Places like Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, and Sister Bay offer a perfect blend of art galleries, boutique shops, and cozy cafes, allowing visitors to experience small-town hospitality. Explore local farmers markets, grab a bite at a waterfront restaurant, or just wander the streets and take in the historic architecture. The towns feel like stepping back in time while still offering modern comforts.
3. Outdoor Recreation
If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, Door County is a paradise. Kayaking along the limestone cliffs, sailing on the waters of Green Bay, or taking a scenic bike ride through the rolling countryside are just a few of the activities available. Fishing, paddleboarding, and camping are also popular, and in the winter months, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails open up. The area’s many state parks and nature reserves ensure that every outdoor lover finds something to enjoy.
