For a true boating town feel, Egg Harbor is located right on Green Bay and offers that small harbor town feel. Egg Harbor may seem small at only 6.62 square miles, but its culture and artisanal foods make this town a welcoming vacation spot. Wineries, animal farms, bars, restaurants, galleries, and parks all create a thriving town full of welcoming people. Populations are small – around 200 people – but they make you feel like your part of the town when you’re visiting.
Egg Harbor Marina
In 2010, Egg Harbor Marina was renovated to provide 63 floating piers for docking boats.

The harbor includes a gas station for filling your boats, whether it takes diesel or regular gas. Since you may choose to stay on your boat during your vacation, you’ll find many amenities at Egg Harbor Marina to make your stay more comfortable, including bathrooms, playgrounds, and laundry facilities. Right off of the harbor slips is a public beach for land days, and shops and restaurants are only a short walk away.

Shipwrecked Brew Pub
In 1882, the building that now houses Shipwrecked Brew Pub was built. In 2017, a fire destroyed the old building, but when it was rebuilt in 2018, the customer was kept in mind. Rather than old rooms for an inn upstairs, the second story is a dining room featuring water views. With a history that harkens to Al Capone, there are also rumors of ghosts who gently haunt the halls of the restaurant, believed to be victims of Capone’s. Shipwrecked is a brewery that creates microbrews, and a local favorite is the fried cheese curds served with garlic chili ketchup.

Though the coffee is great, it’s the chocolate that shines in this store. Combining chocolate and cherries is one of the great innovations at Chocolate Chicken since cherries are a local crop.
