Are you interested in financing property in Cape Coral, Florida?
Cape Coral is one of Florida’s top summertime vacation destinations.
Cape Coral rests on the Gulf of Mexico alongside Fort Myers. It’s also right in between two other popular destinations, Tampa and Miami.
Many people don’t know that Cape Coral was a planned, residential community. Two real-estate developer brothers from Baltimore flew to the region and were so impressed with the area, they bought the sizable stretch of land.
In 1958, the brothers began building their suburban community on 103 square miles of land. Over time, the community grew into a popular place for families and vacationers. Today, its population is almost at 180,000 residents.
Cape Coral enjoys a tropical climate with temperatures in the mid-70s during the winter months. In the summertime, temperatures peak in the 100s but usually stay in the early to mid-90s range.
The city is home to many canals that lead to the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico. This guide will get you more acquainted with Cape Coral and update you on the popular spots around the city
Visit The Four Mile Ecological Preserve In The Summertime
The Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve is open year round from 8 AM until dusk. The Preserve is 365 acres of wetland with a Kayak trail and Veteran Memorials.
Visitors can also sightsee because the Preserve is filled with wildlife. Sightings of eagles, snakes, and herons are normal.
The Kayak Shack is open from November to May during the weekends. Visitors can rent a kayak and take for a spin on the trail. For the less adventurous, there are some observation piers, picnic areas, and a nature trail.
The Cardboard Boat Regatta
The boat race was started in 1994 by a local nautical club. Over the years, it has gone through many changes and now the Cape Coral Rotary Club hosts the event.
The event is a great time for local schools, churches, and other organizations to get together and have a fun-filled day at Four Freedoms Park.
Participants build boats out of cardboard and other unusual materials. They race each other to see which boat travels the fastest down Bimini Basin. Registration is open to individuals, organizations, and corporate teams.
