Discover the exquisite beauty of the Door County Peninsula and Washington Island. With over 300 miles of scenic shoreline dotted with bustling harbors and quiet coves, Door County offers a wealth of water-based recreation. Sandy beaches, sailing, cruising, boating, fishing, boat rentals, charters or a unique car ferry ride to Washington Island are just a few ways to enjoy the sparkling waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
Five state parks, ten lighthouses and more than a dozen county parks offer fantastic hiking, biking and sightseeing opportunities. Eleven golf courses combined with the breath taking landscape of rural vistas and bluffs further enhance your experience of the county.
Pristine scenery combined with hundreds of renowned artists and galleries, acclaimed music and performing arts, and unique educational courses for the visual arts, theatre, and humanities truly make Door County a distinctive arts community.
Dine at one of our unique and award-winning restaurants (perhaps taking in a traditional Door County fish boil), and hunt for treasures in our one-of-a-kind shops, galleries, and museums, before being pampered in one of our charming accommodations and enjoying a picturesque Door County sunset.
Small wonder Door County was named one of the top ten vacation destinations in North America by Money Magazine, and that each year more than two million visitors like to visit and claim this jewel as their own.
