COMMUNITY

Sister Bay was given its name via the Sister Islands that stand guard at the harbor opening of Sister Bay. What was once a village of fish camps, loggers and farmers, is now a vibrant and tight-knit waterfront community with diverse options for dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation. Here are some of our neighbors and landmarks we love in Sister Bay and the greater Door Peninsula.

Peninsula State Park
Peninsula State Park is a 3,776-acre Wisconsin state park with eight miles of Green Bay shoreline in Door County. Peninsula is the third largest state park in Wisconsin, and is visited by an estimated 1 million visitors annually.

Northern Sky Theater
Northern Sky Theater performs under the stars June – August at Peninsula State Park in Fish Creek and at the Door Community Auditorium in the Fall.

Door County Brewing Co.
Door County Brewing Company is inspired by our surrounding; our friends, our families, our landscape. Our mission is to create beers that lead to a gathering of community and friends where ever you are. We promise to create only the best tasting, thought provoking, carefully sourced, eco conscience beers that are constantly pushing the edge of imagination and senses.

Sister Bay Bowl
The Sister Bay Bowl is a family-owned, family-friendly landmark offering great food, friendly service, ample portions, full bar and just happens to have a six lane bowling alley. “Da Bowl” is located on the hill in heart of Sister Bay. Join us for lunch, dinner, cocktails or a round of bowling!

Base Camp Coffee
The Base Camp Coffee Bar is open daily 7:30 am to 4 pm. We serve coffee and specialty drinks, baked goods and quick bites. Also available are a selection of books and cd’s. Have a bite before heading out to explore, or get energized after an afternoon of hiking.

Ridges Sanctuary
A unique pristine nature area on the Lake Michigan shore. Made up of a series of beach ridges and swales, the Sanctuary harbors a diversity of habitats which makes it the most biologically diverse area in Wisconsin. On the property are the historic Baileys Harbor Range Lights that used to guide ships into Baileys Harbor when it was the busiest harbor on Lake Michigan north of Milwaukee.

Wilson’s Ice Cream
A classic Door County landmark that possesses the enchantment to take visitors back in time with its old-fashioned soda fountain and ice cream specialties, home-brewed draft root beer, flame broiled burgers and juke boxes playing the classics.

They are also delighted by the talent of its acting company and the theatre’s serene location along the shores of Green Bay.
