| Cape Coral, "It's just Paradise!" |
|
| |
 Bordering the Gulf of Mexico, the City Of Cape Coral has more than 400 miles of waterways, with 222 miles of saltwater canals and 156 miles of freshwater. When you add the 31 miles of shoreline, Cape Coral has 409 miles of waterways.
Whether it be powerboat or sailboat, we have some of the best boating in the world. There are tarpon fishing tournaments, sailing regattas, power boat races, and even an annual cardboard-boat regatta!

Year-round sunshine, friendly people, and shimmering waters are only a few reasons why Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. Whether you are single, married, have a family, and/or looking for a vacation home, Cape Coral has something for everyone.
We have activities year round, hosted by various clubs and organizations as well as the city and the Chamber of Commerce including art festivals, jazz concerts and block parties. A couple of my favorites are the "Red, White, and Boom" every fourth of July, and the Holiday Boat Parade where boat owners deck out their boats with holiday lights/decorations then cruise the canals.
Dreaming of beaches and palm trees?
This is a view of Cape Coral's beach located on the Caloosahatchee River. There are several other beaches to visit: Fort Myers beach offers pristine white sand, shopping, music, food, and watersports; Drive over the scenic Sanibel Causeway to visit the Sanibel and Captiva beaches, or by boat you can enjoy an uninhabited island beach.
