About Sister Bay

Sister Bay is one of Northern Door County's most vibrant hubs, set right along the waters of Green Bay. Daily activity naturally revolves around Waterfront Park, a spacious community green space with a swimming beach, boat docks, and front-row seats for evening sunsets. The downtown strip is easy to walk and packed with popular local spots, including coffee shops, bakeries, and the legendary Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant, where goats spend the summer grazing on the sod roof.

For anyone thinking about making the move, the village offers a welcoming neighborhood feel backed by practical local amenities. Families are served by Gibraltar Area Schools, and residents enjoy a well-equipped municipal marina, reliable year-round businesses, and quick access to the rest of the peninsula. It strikes a comfortable balance between a bustling summer lakeside town and a quiet, close-knit community during the winter months.
