Sturgeon Bay is a lively, scenic harbor town in Door County with beaches, parks, boating, cycling trails, charming shops, lively restaurants/breweries, galleries and seasonal festivals—perfect for multi-week stays that feel more like a mini-residency than being stuck in a nowhere town.
For occasional bigger-city needs, Green Bay (roughly 30–40 miles) offers an airport, major hospitals and pro-sports, and nearby Appleton (≈45 miles) provides extra dining, shopping and cultural options.
