Miles of magnificent blue waters and 355 days of sunshine a year make Southwest Florida an ideal region for boaters interested in Cape Coral real estate. SWFL offers boaters dozens of marinas with access to a variety of waterways including the Gulf of Mexico, the Caloosahatchee River, and the Cape Coral Canal system.
The Gulf of Mexico is a boater’s paradise with its crystal clear blue water and access to world renowned salt water fishing. In addition to excellent fishing, scuba divers flock to the area for the up close and personal underwater experiences. SWFL’s location on the Gulf allows boaters access to uninhabited barrier islands where they can experience natural Florida at its best through wildlife viewing and shelling.
The Caloosahatchee River is part of the Intracoastal Waterway system connecting both coasts of Florida. The river is over 67 miles long connecting boaters to Lake Okeechobee and the ultimately the Atlantic Ocean. In SWFL the river runs between Cape Coral and Fort Myers, allowing boaters access to both salt water and fresh water fishing. At the mouth of the river, located just south of Fort Myers at San Carlos Bay, a federal wildlife area for manatees has been established.
If you are a boater looking for a second home or investment properties, Lee County, Florida real estate is the best option for Florida waterfront homes for sale. With an extensive canal system of over 400 miles of navigable waterways, the majority of the homes located in Cape Coral are built on canals with docks and boat lifts. Interestingly enough, Cape Coral’s canal system is the largest in the world with more miles of canals than any city including the famed canals of Venice, Italy. A score of the canals allow boater’s access to the Caloosatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico.
If spending an afternoon on your boat entertaining guests while navigating the canal system of Cape Coral is your idea of a perfect day or fishing for dolphin offshore in the Gulf of Mexico is more your speed, the waterways of SWFL have something to offer every type of boating enthusiast. Live the dream every day by purchasing Florida real estate for sale.
