If you ever get a chance to take a walk down by the waterfront in Sheboygan you will never be disappointed in what you might see. Sheboygan is known for it’s lively lakefront giving it the name the Fresh Water Surf Capital in the World. So many people from out of town come to Sheboygan to relish in it’s water activities: fishing, segway tours, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, kitesurfing, and sailing.

Segway Tours

Segway tours are making a come back in Sheboygan thanks to Segway the fox. The company has been working with Blue Harbor Resort to organize tours for guests. They are also offering tours for anyone, outside of the resort, that wants to tour in Sheboygan. Sheboygan is a great place to experience on Segways and we think you’d love it.

They offer tours by appointment anytime. They can sometimes do a tour the day of, however, they suggest booking a few days ahead.

Swimming

Finding a great place to swim in Sheboygan is easy. There are so many beaches waiting for you. If you read my Where the Sand Meets Lake Michigan blog, you can read about my adventures at some of the top beaches in the area. Read about Deland park, General King park, Kohler-Adrae State Park, and Vollrath Park to discover which one is best for you. Another fun place to swim that I did not mention in that blog was Quarry Beach Adventure Park and Water Sports. It is a forested area with a quarry lake & inflatable play equipment for seasonal swimming & sliding. I haven’t got a chance to jump around on the equipment but maybe this summer you will get the chance to see me having a blast.

Kayaking

Paddle Boarding

Surfing

EOS Surf & Outdoor Shop also offers surfing. You have the option to rent a Foam/Skimboard or a Surfboard. Because Lake Michigan’s water is cold it is suggested that a wetsuit is also rented, with the option of gloves/boots rentals.

KiteSurfing

This sport is a little different in the sense that it is more difficult to get involved with. There is a lot more gear and safety that goes into it.

A special thank you to Erlien Design Photography for allowing us to use his captivating video and beautiful photos of kitesurfing for this blog post.
