What do you want to do today ?

The possibilities for recreational and sporting activities are endless in and around Cape Coral and Fort Myers. Southwest Florida is a paradise for sunbathers, golfers, anglers and water enthusiasts. We have put together a few things to do in the city and in the surrounding area.

 

Beaches


Villa Nightfall Florida Cape Coral

There is a beautiful little beach at Cape Coral’s old harbor with a playground, restaurants and fishing pier.

 

It is only a 20 - 30 minutes drive to the beautiful beaches of Ft. Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Island. With the snow-white and fine-grained sandy beaches, the sea and the lush vegetation, they are among the ten most beautiful beaches in America.

Fort Myers Beach is ideal for families with children, since the entire beach is characterized by shallow water. Often you can see dolphins from the beach. There are a lot of sporting activities such as water skiing, wind- and kite surfing, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, parasailing. There is a good selection of beach bars and restaurants.

A little further along the beach, it is quiet and you can enjoy a wonderful day at the beach.

 

Captiva and Sanibel Island is where miles and miles of pristine white beaches invite you to endless walks in an often deserted nature. Sanibel is also known as a paradise for shell collectors. The majority of the island is designated as a national park (Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge). Take a guided tour through the nature trails.

 

 

Boating and fishing


Villa Nightfall Florida Cape Coral

At the Marina of Cape Coral, you can rent a boat daily and then immediately go out to the Gulf of Mexico. Or you rent your boat in Ft. Myers Beach or in Matlatcha and take a fishing trip. In Florida you don’t need a boating license, all boats can be rented daily, weekly or on a monthly basis, and of course, you get a detailed boat instruction.

There are also numerous boat trips that you can book. You just need to choose whether you want to spend only a few hours on the water or whether the tour should last all day. There are exciting excursions into the Gulf of Mexico, Sunday brunch cruises, or even different themed cruises.
