Egg Harbor

A busy waterfront village with a green streak.

One of the busier villages on the peninsula: a marina, a walkable centre, performing arts and a beach park just south of town. Good for a trip built around dinner and a show.

WHERE LAND MEETS WATERAN EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION

A village with an evening

Egg Harbor is considered one of the busier and more bustling communities on the peninsula, particularly if dining, shopping, nightlife and social life are the point of the trip. The marina and waterfront give it a centre of gravity that many smaller villages lack.

It is also a mid-peninsula base: south of Fish Creek and north of Sturgeon Bay, with the Green Bay shore on one side and the county's interior orchards and back roads on the other.
