Sister Bay Travel Guide in Door County Wisconsin | Things to Do, Places to Eat, and Where to Stay

Sister Bay Wisconsin

If Door County had a “summer capital,” it might just be Sister Bay. Located on the Green Bay side of the peninsula, this town combines a bustling downtown, a beautiful marina and beach, and plenty of restaurants and many with outdoor patios and live music.

Why Sisiter Bay is a favorite? It’s a great spot to spend the day, but also a fun place to stay overnight if you like being right in the middle of the action. It has the biggest public waterfront in Door County with nearly 2,000 feet of shoreline, with a beach, park, marina, and green space all right downtown. Sisiter Bay has a lively dining scene from casual fish boils to upscale waterfront dining. Sister Bay has a walkable downtown so once you park, you can shop, eat, and stroll without moving your car.
