Parks & Nature
Beaches:
Very long and large sand beach at Whitefish Dunes state park, 7 minutes south of our home.
Egg Harbor across the peninsula has a new public beach, called "Egg Harbor Beach." I called the marina manager and she said that unless the lake has huge waves, they definitely have a sandy beach. That is 20 min from our house.
Frank E. Murphy Park looks online from "latest" photos to have a sandy beach.
Destination Door County website has current information on beaches (Airbnb won't let me link to it but you can look it up.) The site will show you the range of beaches you could look at for frolicking in the water.
Also, Sturgeon Bay Harbor has a nice beach, it's on a Door County Land Trust property.
Another beach much closer to our home: Jacksonport Beach in Lakeside Park. Sandy beach. Jacksonport is a 10 minute drive from our home.

Awesome beaches, great sand dunes, a viewing tower to walk up to and see an expansive view. Shallow sand beach so warms up easily. Compared to the busier bay-side of Door County, it's much easier to find space on the beach in the summer. Or in the "shoulder seasons" you may find yourself in a wonderful solitude walk. Many trail options.

Newport, on the tip of the peninsula, has the designation of an International Dark Sky Park. One of 18 in the United States. Go during the day to get oriented and then plan some other activity like going out for dinner and then return at dark. If it's a clear night, you'll see a sky that will amaze you!
