Cape Coral Has Canals and More

Southwest Florida is a pretty happening place, but Cape Coral may win the prize for being the most up-and-coming destination in a tried and true region that also includes Fort Myers, Sanibel Island and Captiva.

What’s so special about Cape Coral? For one thing, it’s ideally located on the Gulf Coast. It’s one of the younger communities to spring up here, but thanks to the ideal weather and scenery, the population has soared along with the number of engaging things to do. Anything you’d expect to find is here; snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, fishing, and surfing are just a few ways to literally dive into the Cape Coral scene. That’s not to say there aren’t a few unexpected surprises, though; hundreds of miles of canals will make you think of Venice and 335 days of sunshine a year hardly seems possible.

Boating and swimming aren’t just confined to the ocean, there are also several lakes to take advantage of. Golf courses play a pretty big role in the landscape (this is Florida, after all), shopaholics will find themselves in a veritable heaven, and day trips to any number of Florida’s famed attractions are always an option.

Luxurious vacation villas and houses on the water will serve as the icing on the cake to a Cape Coral vacation, so let the momentum of this still-growing destination carry you along and enjoy a rejuvenating vacation in the process.
