Wisconsin's Door County was named as a must-see for anyone who likes to travel mentioning the "300 miles of beautiful shoreline" and "53 beaches open for public swimming."

The Active Times:

In addition to countless local parks, Door County is home to five state and 19 county parks for hiking, as well as eight wineries that make up the Door County Wine Trail. There are also 11 historic lighthouses, 11 golf courses to tee off at and more than 100 museums, galleries, and performance venues — making it one of America’s best weekend getaways.

TripAdvisor lists hotels in Door County currently priced between $100-$200 a night, so it's not like it's going to break the bank in order to stay for the weekend.

If you love to shop, Door County is a perfect little getaway. TripAdvisor mentions Koepsel's Farm Market, Hide Side Corner Store, and Island Lavender Farm Market as three fantastic options for people who want to buy some stuff.
