Summer

Feel the sand between your toes

Usually heading north doesn’t mean beaches are the destination. But Door County’s clear water and smooth beaches make heading towards the water as memorable as anywhere else in the world. With nine beaches hugging the peninsula, finding those waves crashing on shore is not too far.

Take a swing at it!

There’s never a bad time to play a round of golf. Door County is well aware, with its ten courses throughout the county. Constant perfect weather along with the breeze floating in from the Great Lakes, any course proves to be picturesque as well as challenging.

Sailing takes me away

Door County was named after the ominous title of “Death’s Door” because the passage was so dangerous for early explorers and traders. Now, sailing around Door County is the premier activity during the summer months. With private charters, lighthouse tours and sunset sails available, there are few better ways to experience the land and sea of Door County.

Fall

Get a taste of Door County

As the seasons begin to change again, outdoor activities are recommended to get the last licks of warm weather in. And no better place to visit when the landscape changes than any of the eight wineries throughout the county. Craft breweries and distilleries round out the rest of the peninsula for whatever your palate prefers.

It’s always island time

The county doesn’t stop when the land meets the water. Some of the most highly recommended experiences comes from taking a ferry across the “Port de Morts,” or “Death’s Door” to Washington Island and Rock Island. Take a dip, hike or plenty of pictures at either of these gems past the peninsula.

Cycle through the seasons
