The best way to see Cape Coral is from the water. Sailing through the canals is a very relaxing and fun experience. The beautiful nature, the amazing waterfront homes, and all the boats and yachts are a sight to see!
Cape Coral is a boating paradise with more than 400 miles of canals and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico. It's easy to sail to Ft Myers Beach, Sanibel island, Captiva island and more places from Cape Coral. It's the ideal location for a boating vacation or lifestyle.
Chiquita Lock & Cape Harbour
The Chiquita lock is the gateway between the downtown Cape Coral canals and the Calooshatchee River which leads into the Gulf of Mexico. Right by the Chiquita lock, there is a place to fuel up the boat and there's a fantastic restaurant called Rumrunners. An ideal place to fuel up and have a meal before heading out to the Gulf!
The Chiquita lock is located right by Cape Harbour. Cape Harbour is Southwest Florida’s premiere Gulf access community. It has a beautiful marina and there are restaurants, shops, and wonderful waterfront homes and condos. One of the most recent real estate properties are the Funky Fish Houses. These colorful modern beach house style homes really catch your eye when you sail by Cape Harbour. Have a look at these Funky Fish Houses and Cape Harbour's marina by checking out my TWD video.
