CAPE CORAL FLORIDA
Take a Trip to Cape Coral
By Caitlin Moore
It’s certainly not the oldest town around, but Cape Coral’s newness
doesn’t mean it’s unable to act as a good host to vacationers. It was
actually created as a place for people to escape cold weather, stress,
and all the other pitfalls of modern life, so if you’ve found yourself
overburdened then take this Florida sweet spot up on its offer to
soothe you.
Sitting serenely on the Gulf coast and filled with canals that connect
happy vacationers to the wide open seascape, Cape Coral has been
expanding geographically and in terms of population by leaps and
bounds over the last several years. The often lovely weather and the
easy-on-the-eyes scenery make it a land developers dream come true
as well as a vacationer’s ideal. Take one look around at this
sprawling, busy-yet-peaceful destination and you’ll realize why things
have progressed with such ease.
Summers in this part of Florida can be a little humid and sometimes
rainy, but winters are divine. It doesn’t take a neurosurgeon to see why
this is a popular pick for building a home in order to actually enjoy a
month like February, which isn’t such a pretty sight in other parts of the
country. Thus there is an assortment of travelers here that come and
go as they please, leading to a vibrant atmosphere but one that is not
uncomfortably crowded. Cape Coral has plenty of space for us all
thanks to those forward-thinking planners, so don’t be afraid of feeling
claustrophobic.
Even Sunshine State never-beens know that Florida in general is big
on fun time, so it’s pretty impressive to note that Cape Coral has
some of the best examples of sun-soaked leisure offerings on the
whole peninsula. Anything you can think of that requires a swimsuit
and a pair of shades is available here, including jet skiing, deep-sea
fishing, kayaking, snorkeling (leave the sunglasses at home for this
one) and whatever else you need to do in order to get your fill of the
ocean and forget about all work responsibilities.
Burn off all the tension in your body by playing tennis or golf before the
prettiest backdrop ever, and a collection of paths and trails will lead
you around the town if you’d care to jog, bike or rollerblade while you
sightsee as well. Stick to the shore if you want a glimpse of the exotic
marine life that also finds Cape Coral to be a happenin’ place to be.
Low tide will reveal everything from manatees to long-legged birds, so
bring your binoculars for an impromptu lesson in marshland
dynamics or join an eco-tour that will fill you in on all the details.
Shopping is practically a sport of its own here, so if you’re adept at
wielding a credit card you’ll be adequately challenged. Outlet malls,
designer stores and mom-and-pop antique shops will present a vast
array of souvenir-gathering options, and when it’s time to stop for a
break there are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants to rejuvenate
you. As you stroll around be sure to appreciate the fresh air and sun-
dappled sidewalks, and stop to take note of the fact that everyone
seems friendly and relaxed, too. There’s something about Cape Coral.
Day trips to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and several other of Florida’
s shining stars can be made easily possible by chartering a boat, but
you may be perfectly content to stake out a place on the beaches of
Cape Coral and never stray more than a mile or two away. This is
perfectly fine, in fact it’s encouraged by renting a vacation property that
will supply everything you need within a cute and stylish atmosphere
located right on the beach. From the kitchen to the patio, you’ll feel that
you’re one of those lucky people with two homes. After booking a few
days in the villa or condo of your choice, you may be inspired to come
back again, so you really won’t be all that different from those
privileged people.
Come down to Cape Coral whenever the mood strikes, but do plan
ahead in order to find the best deals and give yourself plenty of time to
tell everyone that you’ll be heading south for a relaxing respite. Don’t
rub it in too much because then you’ll lose a few friends, but don’t be
afraid to give yourself the credit you deserve for taking control of you
life and doing something that will be good for your mind, body and
soul.
