I'm adding an update since it's been 4 years since my last review of this park, but please also see…read moremy 2 earlier reviews. They have completely rebuilt the fire tower adding an accessible ramp. While we are able to climb stairs, we enjoyed the ramp a great deal. I'm not a huge fan of open stairs and found this wide ramp that is intended for both wheelchair users and walkers to be a very pleasant way to reach the viewing platform and return to ground level. The view from the top is amazing on a clear day. We also walked part of the sunset bike trail as an out and back which was lovely. We started at the beach, headed toward the lighthouse and continued on to the bluffs/cliffs before turning around. It was about 6 miles round trip and had lots of wildflowers and beaches along the way. This is a great trail for anyone who doesn't want to navigate a lot of tree roots or rocks. Other updates: The lighthouse is being refurbished and is scheduled to reopen later in June 2026. There are now food trucks near the beach if you don't feel like bringing a picnic lunch!

It's definitely more of a park than a beach. Come at sunset and the ambiance is just lovely and everyone seemed to really respect the area. There aren't many benches or places to sit so you may find yourself standing for a bit to watch the sunset. If you're feeling adventurous, you can climb around the barrier to walk down and sit on the stone shore for a more intimate view. Very romantic place for our anniversary!

It is an amazing spot to catch the sunset over the bay, read a book, write, meditate, chat, etc! It is not a beach in the sense of warm, golden sand between your toes; however, there is a path that leads you to the water's edge. Parking can be a bit tight on the small road so I suggest parking a little further away and walking, especially in the warm weather months. A Door County gem!

First, it was FUN! Beyond the fun it was informative. We had no idea of the historical significance of Manitowoc in terms of ship building and the war effort during WW I and WW II . This could easily be expanded to 3 hours by extending the ride along the waterfront all the way to Two Rivers, incorporating an optional stop at the bright pink ice cream shop! We did ride our bikes to Two Rivers and back. The Mariner's Trail is a lovely path this tour takes. Makes this excursion not just fun, but scenically beautiful as well.

Cozy furniture for reading. Lots of open space for outdoorsy play. Our beagle was lovingly welcomed. He was so happy to romp the trails and be welcomed in local places with treats! My one and only suggestion should you visit in the winter is to bring a hair dryer. I wish one was stocked here but don't forget to bring your own. It is cold outside!
