Come to Cape Coral - Things to Do in Cape Coral

Hello and welcome to my website about Cape Coral, Florida - a terrific waterfront destination in Southwest Florida for those who like swimming, boating, fishing, golfing, and lots of sunshine!  Imagine yourself relaxing by the pool with a refreshing mango smoothie under bright and sunny skies.  Or, maybe you're at the beach watching a beautiful sunset.  How about you're catching a fish dinner in aqua green waters, or sailing while dolphins frolic nearby, or out on the golf course, or playing tennis or feeling peaceful while palm trees sway in the breeze...in January?!

Do you dream of vacationing at the beach looking for shells, eating fresh seafood everyday, going parasailing?

Is your idea of fun a picnic on a boat?

Or have you been wanting to make a permanent move so that you can enjoy the warm weather year-round?

We had all of those dreams and decided to take the plunge in 2006 by moving from the Northeast to the Cape.

We are so glad that we did because...
