Grab a pastry and coffee. Scaturo's Baking Co & Cafe sits at the top of the hill with clear views of the bay and skyline. It is open until 19:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.

Walk down to the Door County Maritime Museum. Stroll past the Jim Kress Lighthouse Tower, the tallest building in town, and browse the maritime exhibits. The museum is open until 17:00, giving you time to explore before the main event.
