Play time: The following activities are highly reliant on weather conditions, so make sure you plan them in advance. For the first option, catch some waves with EOS Surf Shop. They’ll teach you everything you need to know to hang ten. If the waves aren’t cooperating, consider sailing on the lake for a few hours. SEAS will be there to guide you and teach you the ropes. If you’re interested in exploring shipwrecks, it might be worth contacting the Great Lakes Diving Center to arrange an excursion.
Lunch: After spending some time on the water, grab lunch at Seeboth Delicatessen for a sandwich, soup, or other delectable bites.
After Lunch: If you’re still up for some adventure by the lake, head towards the lighthouse for a scenic walk. Even if you missed out on diving at a shipwreck, you can still explore the Lottie Cooper, a shipwreck showcased at the marina. While you are down by the lake, why not also walk to Blast Soft Serve for a snack before dinner.
Dinner: BoMallies offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with outdoor seating – perfect for a tranquil night out. Savor vegetarian and healthy food options that are shareable with your group as small plates.
If you’re driving northbound, consider stopping by the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center. Take advantage of the opportunity to explore over 10,000 square feet of interactive exhibits that highlight Wisconsin’s thriving and diverse agriculture industry.
