At Bay Breeze Resort you don’t have to fight the crowds for a spot on the beach. Enjoy your own private beach on the shores of Ephraim's Eagle Harbor, located across Water Street/Highway 42 from the resort. (The beach is open seasonally. The size of the beach varies depending on the lake level.)

Bring your beach chairs, towels and toys! Soak up the sun and views of Peninsula State Park’s Eagle Bluff to your left, a panorama of the historic Village of Ephraim skyline on your right and the sailboats moored in the harbor in front of you.

Eagle Harbor is hugely popular with kite surfers and windsurfers, and on a good day you can sit on the beach and watch brave souls weave around and over boats. The harbor is also popular with paddle boarders and kayakers. Rent your own at Ephraim Kayak Center located at South Shore Pier to explore the shoreline views and caves beneath Eagle Bluff.

Feel free to bring a good book, a cup of coffee, wine, beer, or whatever your favorite beverage (no glass, please) and relax all day. It’s not a bad place to watch the sun go down, either -- a front row seat to spectacular Door County sunsets awaits!

For a moment at least, you’ll love having your own private sand beach in Ephraim.

And if you want a bigger beach, head just a short walk up the road to the Ephraim Public Beach, or drive 10 minutes into Peninsula State Park to join the fun at Nicolet Beach. There you’ll find volleyball courts, a large park for frisbee and other games, grills, picnic tables, kayak, paddle board and pedal boat rentals, and concessions.
