The Cape doesn’t have gulf beaches, but it has river beaches. The waters of the Matlacha Pass and Caloosahatchee River form estuaries, where mangrove forests teem with marine life. This makes Cape Coral a favourites destination for hobby fishermen.
The lakes and canals are filled with freshwater fish, such as bass and panfish. In Caloosahatchee River, you will be able to bait bream, black crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegill. If you prefer saltwater fishing, head nine miles inshore to the tidal creeks, estuaries, and bays where you can catch snappers, trout, groupers, bass, tarpons, redfish and more.
Beach lovers will not be disappointed with the Yacht Club Beach on the Caloosahatchee River. This family-friendly beach comes with playground, shelters for family picnics and a fishing pier for angling. Every month, the beach clubhouse hosts a craft show called the Sunset Celebration. Visitors can even access the swimming pool, tennis courts, and marina in the clubhouse complex if their Cape Coral holiday letting is located in the vicinity.
Golfing is a passion in Cape Coral, and that is why the city has four public and semi-private golf courses. Royal Tee, a semi-private golf course, is located in the Cape Royal golf community. It is one of the best golf courses in the area, with 27 championship holes. The undulating greens, glimmering lakes and shimmering sand make a picture-perfect sight. The course also has a driving range, pro shop, and practice greens to hone your golfing skills.
