A Touch of New England Charm
A wonderful combination of New England charm and Midwestern friendliness, Port Washington welcomes you. With our historic downtown right on the lake & next to the marina, we are a town that you can walk, with spectacular views everywhere you turn.

Learn about our history by following a walking tour, going up & down hidden staircases. Venture out with a charter captain, representing one of the most successful charter fishing fleets on the lake. Spend time on the beach. Rent a bike, and hop on the paved trail that goes right through town. Enjoy a memorable meal, while taking in the view, or shop for the special remembrance of your visit. And we are minutes away from many more attractions & activities, if you are looking to extend your visit.

Whether you are very active, or you prefer to relax & watch the world go by, we have plenty to keep you busy. Fish with one of our successful charter captains, or off the breakwater. Bike the 30 mile, paved, Interurban Trail. Golf on one of the many pro-designed courses in the area. Hike, in several natural areas nearby – Riveredge Nature Center; Lions Den Gorge with lake access; Harrington Beach State Park, right on Lake Michigan. And bring your binoculars – these are great birding areas! Right in town you can follow the walking tours up & down our hidden staircases. Swim at our natural beach, or in our community water park. Or just sit on a bench & take in the sights & sounds of the lakefront & harbor, or of the quaint downtown with the church up on the hill.

This 1935 art deco lighthouse provides a beacon of safety, while an inland lighthouse that dates to 1860 has been restored as a light station museum.
