Area Information

Plan your Cape Coral vacation and visit a laid-back waterfront community full of fun activities, restaurants, shopping and events. This destination in southwest Florida offers an easygoing pace where boating is a must and friendly locals welcome you.

Located on the Caloosahatchee River, Cape Coral (a.k.a The Cape) offers water fun for all ages. Venture from your Cape Coral vacation rental, and explore over 400 miles of canals open for boating, fishing, yachting, dolphin-watching, kayaking and water sports. For a more relaxing day on the water, visit Cape Coral's beaches located at Yacht Club Community Park and Four Freedoms Park. Both parks offer amenities including playgrounds, picnic tables, grills and lots of sandy spots to spread out.

Families will also find plenty to do inland. Cape Coral offers Sun Splash Family Waterpark, mini-golf, entertainment centers, escape rooms, bowling, museums and art galleries. To get around, ride bikes on over 90 miles of connected bike routes located through the area. Other top attractions include Cape Coral Sports Complex, Cape Coral Historical Museum and Cape Coral Arts Studio.

From your Cape Coral rental you'll also enjoy access to scenic golf courses, suited for beginners and advanced players. The Coral Oaks Course is an 18-hole championship course, complete with eight lakes and 37 bunkers, and measures a par 72. On non-golfing days, visit the trails at Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve or play at the Rotary Park Environmental Center.

Its waterfront location also means lots of fresh seafood and dozens of new restaurants to sample. From fine dining to casual dives, Cape Coral's restaurants serve up friendly atmospheres and diverse menus. In addition to fresh catches, visitors can pick from Asian favorites, traditional American, German hangouts, barbecue, Mexican, Italian and pizza. No matter what you crave, you'll find it here.

Once your family feels energized, browse dozens of stores and shopping centers in Cape Coral. Start with buying local goodies from the Cape Coral Farmers Market. Then stop by South Cape, the city's downtown district. This area offers visitors a more intimate experience where they can chat with locals and relax. When in downtown, you'll also find craft breweries, live music venues, nightclubs, trendy restaurants, bike nights and local shops for souvenir shopping.
