With 300 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, Door County is a picture postcard of coastal ambiance: spectacular sunsets, whitewashed lighthouses that rise above quiet fishing villages, and thundering waves that wet rocky shores. There's even an east and west coast on the Door County peninsula. On a sunny afternoon you can pedal shore-to-shore; a mini-transcontinental. On the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula, the wind and waves seem to come from a long distance. The landscape is harder, the wind brisker and the water bluer. Across the peninsula, on Green Bay, the elements relax a bit. Rolling along Eagle Harbor, the village of Ephraim looks like it belongs on Cape Cod. Nearby in Fish Creek, the Peninsula Players perform popular Broadway and off-Broadway plays in an idyllic setting. Play or no play, it's a great place for a rest stop; just one of the many reasons to slow down in Door County.
