We recommend choosing a vacation property in the area known as "South West Cape Coral". The homes here line a stretch of water known as the Spreader Canal, which offers easy access out to the Gulf of Mexico, and is therefore the prime location for boating enthusiasts in particular. You will also benefit from wonderful views of the waterways, expansive, airy homes, unmatched sunsets, and quick access to Cape Coral's main dining and entertainment area, which is in the local vicinity.
We also recommend staying in El Dorado Parkway, Cape Coral, one of the area's first streets that also offers unrivalled access to the water, as well as a prime location to pay a visit to (and get through nice and quickly) the historical Chiquita Lock in Cape Coral.

Things to do in Cape Coral
Cape Coral is a relaxing destination, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of attractions and must-see sights in the city. It is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts, and with over 400 miles of canals running through Cape Coral (the most canals of any city in the world), it comes as no surprise that activities like kayaking, canoeing, and boating are some of the most popular in the area. Cape Coral also has a plethora of family attractions, including the popular Sun Splash Water Park and the Tom Allen Memorial Butterfly Garden. Keen golfers will want to play a round or two at one of the many courses in and around Cape Coral, and beachgoers are also well catered for, with irresistible white sandy beaches lining the coast around the city.
Dining in Cape Coral
Due to its reputation as a vacation hotspot, Cape Coral has got a fantastic selection of restaurants catering to all tastes and styles. Unsurprisingly, seafood features on many menus in the city, and given Cape Coral’s coastal position, the fish on offer is about as fresh as you’ll find anywhere. Lobster Lady and Fathoms Restaurant are popular local spots for great seafood. Alternatively, you can take your tastebuds on a vacation of their own at the many eateries in Cape Coral serving up authentic international flavors. Fans of Asian cuisine should make a stop at Ginger Bistro, while eclectic Cajun fare is on offer at Slates.
Furthermore, if you're out on a boating adventure and hoping to grab a bite to eat somewhere, consider heading to Rumrunners. This restaurant is the first you will see as you enter Cape Coral via the waterways, with a dock available so you can keep your boat anchored safely, as well as a station to refuel the watercraft once you're done refueling yourself!
