Ellison Bay · Door County · Wisconsin

Tonight's sunset 5:45 pm

Ellison Bay Town Park · Directly across the road

A quick walk to a great beach.

Cross one quiet road and you’re on the sand — no driving, no parking, no planning.

More than just a park

Ellison Bay Town Park sits directly across the road from the inn — 283 feet of shoreline on Green Bay, with a sand beach, a dock for fishing and tying up, a playground, tennis courts and a gazebo under the cedars. It’s a town park, so it’s free, quiet, and quaint.

What’s across the road

The beach

Sand, shallow entry, and water that warms up by July. 

The dock

Cast a line or walk out for a better look at the horizon.

The playground

Close enough to keep an eye on the kids from a beach chair. 

Tennis courts

Two full courts, first come, first served. 

Gazebo & picnic tables

Shade under the cedars — morning coffee, card games, and rainy-day reading.

The sunset

Catch a breathtaking view at the end of the day.

morning

Grab a coffee and a pastry from the lobby, and carry it to the gazebo to watch the morning come in over the bay.

midday

Swim, sandcastles, a line off the dock. Lunch is a short walk up into the village.

evening

Back from dinner in time for the show. Watch the sun go down over Green Bay.

night

The stars are dazzling from the beach — or drive ten minutes to Newport for an even better night sky.
