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.

This 365 acre park features a walking trail, visitor center, and seasonal
