Door County, Wisconsin: Quick & Dirty Guide

Known as Wisconsin’s Cape Cod, Door County is a Midwestern treat. You can get a taste of coastal life—lighthouses, sunrises on the beach, and fresh fish—all while in the middle of the US. And because Door County is only about ten miles wide, you can even watch the sunrise and sunset over water on the same day.

Spend a weekend in the adorable northern peninsula of Wisconsin driving through little towns filled with old-fashioned charm. You’ll feel like you’ve entered a time warp while you enjoy amazing food, beautiful beaches, and several outstanding state parks. Find out what all the buzz is about and experience it for yourself using this Quick & Dirty Guide.
