Cape Coral and Fort Myers

Cape Coral is a very pretty city located in sunny, southwest Florida on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Just west of Fort Myers, Cape Coral has hundreds of miles of gorgeous deep-blue canals flowing into the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the largest waterfront communities, as well as one of the fastest growing cities in the state of Florida. The popular shelling beaches of Captiva and Sanibel Islands are just minutes away, and several local and state parks offer fishing, boating, swimming and snorkeling. Hiking, biking, golf and tennis are also available in the Cape Coral area. The city of Cape Coral is home to a children’s science center, as well as a fun, family water park. Several special events are held here throughout the year, including the annual Festival of the Arts, usually held in January, plus an Oktoberfest in the fall. The beautiful beaches of Fort Myers are just minutes away, and the Florida Everglades is approximately an hour’s drive from Cape Coral. One very unique aspect of the city is that it has one of the largest Burrowing Owl populations in the country. During nesting season you will see these little owls sitting on perches along the city streets.
