There’s something magical about Door County. The way the light hits the water at sunrise, the vibrant autumn hues, the endless horizons over Lake Michigan—this peninsula was practically made for photos. Whether you're chasing the perfect sunset selfie or looking to build an envy-inducing Instagram reel, Door County delivers jaw-dropping backdrops at every turn. So grab your camera, charge your phone, and pack a snack (because chasing beauty is hungry work). Here are the best spots to snap the most stunning photos in Door County—just minutes from your stay at Bridgeport Waterfront Resort.
📸 Pro tip: Use a long exposure for a silky water effect. Or just hold really still and pretend you're Ansel Adams. Cana Island Lighthouse – Classic Charm It’s not a Door County photo tour without a lighthouse--and Cana Island delivers. Walk the iconic causeway (wear waterproof shoes!) and capture this 19th-century beauty from every angle. The climb to the top? Worth every step for panoramic shots of the peninsula. 📸 Must try: Capture the reflection of the lighthouse in the surrounding waters for a double dose of coastal charm. Ellison Bluff – High Drama, No Hiking Required Not in the mood to trek? Ellison Bluff State Natural Area gives you serious elevation without a serious workout. The viewing platform sits high above Green Bay, giving you cinematic views without needing a carabiner. 📸 Pro tip: This spot is underrated for fall foliage shots. Come October, it’s pure color therapy.
The Shoreline at Bridgeport Waterfront Resort We’d be remiss not to include our very own backyard view. Walk out the back door and you’ll find the Ice Age Trail, a peaceful waterfront path with endless opportunities to snap photos of the harbor, boats, and occasionally, an audacious seagull trying to steal someone's sandwich. 📸 Don’t miss: Early morning mist on the water for a soft, ethereal shot—or stick around for the glow of the city lights at night reflected on the bay. Door Bluff Headlands – The Hidden Gem This one’s a bit off the beaten path, but Door Bluff Headlands County Park offers secluded views and a peaceful forest setting. It’s a great place to channel your inner landscape photographer or take dreamy engagement photos without a crowd. 📸 Nature whisperer tip: Go just after a rain for moody, misty forest shots that look straight out of a fairytale.
