Start your day with a refreshing hike through Peninsula State Park, one of Door County’s natural gems. Lace up your hiking boots and wander along scenic trails, surrounded by dense forests, rocky bluffs, and tranquil shores. Take a moment to enjoy the captivating vistas of Green Bay from the Eagle Tower observation deck. The park also offers bike rentals, so you can pedal through the picturesque scenery at your own pace.

Afternoon: Savoring Local Delights

After working up an appetite, head to one of the charming villages in Door County for a delightful lunch. DoCo Vacations recommends the renowned Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay, where you can enjoy traditional Swedish fare, including their famous Swedish pancakes topped with lingonberries. Take in the unique ambiance of the restaurant, complete with its resident goats grazing on the sod roof.

Enjoy shopping and delicious bakery items from Door County Coffee, where you’re sure to find your perfect blend of beans. Breakfast Blend is must for those who like a regular medium roast. Try Highlander Grogg if you enjoy a flavor, an incredible blend of Irish Creme and Caramel. You can browse their wide array of gift-able items, unique snack selection, or find your next favorite pair of earrings. Door County Coffee has something for everyone.

Evening: Sunset Serenity and Cultural Delights

As the day begins to wind down, make your way to the shores of Lake Michigan to witness a spectacular sunset. DoCo Vacations suggests Cave Point County Park as the ideal location to embrace the beauty of the setting sun painting the sky with vibrant hues. Marvel at the rugged limestone cliffs and the crashing waves, creating a serene atmosphere that perfectly complements the magical moment.
