Things to Do in Cape Coral

Experience a Cape Coral vacation! Boating, fishing, tennis, and golf are just a few of the favorite pursuits in this vibrant community that is within sight of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

Cape Coral, Florida, has a relatively short history compared to many other cities in the state. It was founded in the late 1950s as a master-planned community by the Gulf American Corporation, primarily as a residential area with an extensive canal system. The city's rapid growth and development were driven by its attractive waterfront properties and the dream of a Florida paradise for retirees and families alike.

Home to more than 400 miles of canals, Cape Coral known as Florida's "waterfront wonderland." It is truly a boaters paradise! Bring your boat, or rent one locally, to enjoy fishing and sightseeing. You can also explore nearby barrier islands like Sanibel and Captiva. The options to explore by boat are nearly endless. You can see some of the most beautiful beaches in Southwest Florida!

From mild to wild, Sun Splash Family Waterpark has something for every member of your crew. Even more fun awaits at Gator Mike's Family Fun Park. You will need to visit more than once to experience the ziplines, paintball, rock climbing, go-karts, arcade games, and mini golf. 

Get back to nature when you visit Four Mile Ecological Preserve. This 365 acre park features a walking trail, visitor center, and seasonal kayak rentals. Within a short drive, you can also visit Pine Island Aquatic Preserve. Local guides lead fishing excursions, dolphin watching cruises, shelling tours, and sunset boat trips.  

While Southwest Florida has made a strong recovery from Hurricane Ian, be sure to verify hours of operation and availability when choosing dining and activities.
