Wisconsin’s numerous lakes, as well as its location bordering Lake Michigan, provide many beach-based vacation options. Door County and Wisconsin Dells, two of the state’s more popular tourist destinations, both have lakes with sandy beaches to attract vacationers. Beach resorts in Wisconsin range from historic lakeside locations to fishing resorts and family-friendly lodging options.

Evergreen Beach Waterfront Resort

Evergreen Beach Waterfront Resort sits on the shores of Eagle Harbor in Ephraim, in Door County. Guests at the historic resort, built in 1897, have a private beach within walking distance of their rooms. At Evergreen Beach, you have your choice of rooms in the main lodge that sleep up to four people, beach-side units that sleep three or four people or one of two housekeeping homes that sleep up to eight. All rooms have air conditioning, cable TV and covered private deck. The beach-side units sit directly on the water, and all rooms or homes have views of the harbor. While staying at the resort, spend some time playing in the sand, swimming in the harbor or swimming in the outdoor heated pool.

Somo Beach Resort

For a Wisconsin beach vacation away from the touristy areas of Wisconsin Dells and Door County, consider Somo Beach Resort on Somo Lake. This northwoods-style fishing resort offers four cabins with one- or two-bedroom layouts and sofa sleepers. The cabins have fully stocked kitchen and television, but no cable access or Wi-Fi. The main draw of Somo Beach Resort is its natural setting and the ability to hunt and fish in the lake and surrounding forests. The simple cabins do not detract from this. When you rent a cabin for the week, the resort offers use of a 14-foot aluminum fishing boat to take out on the lake. A bar and restaurant provide meals when you do not wish to cook. A small private beach gives guests a place to relax in the sun and enjoy the quiet of the lakeside setting when they are not fishing.

Aloha Beach Resort and Suites

The Aloha Beach Resort and Suites sits in Wisconsin Dells on the shores of Lake Delton. Guests have a private beach with lake access to use during their stay, with jet ski and boat rentals available. The resort’s room layouts work well for families; options include two-bedroom suites with two queen beds and family suites with three queen beds and separated sleeping areas. All rooms have microwave and refrigerator. While staying at the resort, plan to spend time near the water. The playgrounds and lakefront picnic area provide a relaxing setting for spending time with your children. A game room and an indoor pool with whirlpool provide entertainment on rainy days.

Beach Harbor Resort

This family-owned resort in Door County caters to the needs of families with its spacious cottages that sit less than 50 feet from the beach. The three-bedroom cottages have full kitchen and laundry facilities, as well as a private fire pit for grilling out. Children younger than 16 stay free with their parents. The Beach Harbor Resort Motel offers traditional motel rooms with amenities like down comforters, mini-fridge and microwave for those traveling on a smaller budget. Families staying at the resort benefit from its close proximity to the attractions of Door County and its location on the shores of Sturgeon Bay. The resort offers boat rental, bike rental and fishing gear to its guests.
