Getting There is Half the Fun
Cape Coral has more than 400 miles of canals. There are many ways to explore
the outer islands and getting there in your own boat is half the fun.
You can see Dolphins, Manatee, Otters, Pelicans, Turtles, Heron's, Spoonbills, Bald Eagles and much more when you rent your own boat.
North Captiva - Once a part of Captiva Island, North Captiva was severed during the hurricane of 1926. Four miles of state-owned beaches are favorite weekend destinations. At its northern end, bordered by Captiva Pass, is a sheltered bay known as Safety Harbor. There, four restaurants cater to vacationing islanders, anglers and boaters. Tropical sauces and fresh herbs adorn fish and fowl and can be found on the menus alongside cheeseburgers and black beans with rice.
Cabbage Key - Boating can also lead to a culinary adventure. Cabbage Key is home to the famous Cheeseburger in paradise and a rustic restaurant and bar, Cabbage Key Inn & Restaurant. The walls are lined with dollar bills, placed there by visitors carrying out a tradition begun long ago. Fisherman would tack a spare dollar on the wall for days when fishing was not so good but their thirst was deep. Today, the money is signed and dated reflecting the origins of the thousands of visitors that come to the island.
Useppa - Across the waterway is the gentrified, private island of Useppa. A small historical museum features the Calusa Indians who once occupied the island. The restaurant is housed in the former home of Barron Collier. It was once the center of the sport-fishing world and is where the Isaac Walton League was born. The easiest access to Useppa is via one of Captiva Cruises dining trips.
Cayo Costa - To the north is one other quiet, unbridged barrier island, Cayo Costa. The least visited state park in Florida, this sleeping giant has 8.5 miles of beaches and offers some of the best shelling in the world. At its northern end, the state maintains a camping area, picnic tables and restroom facilities.
Gasparilla Island - At the mouth of Charlotte Harbor is Boca Grande. From May through mid July, Boca Grande Pass is one of the most intensively fished areas in the world. Boats are so close together that you can hop from one to the other. All are in search of the silver king, the Tarpon. Some say you have not fished until you hook into a fish as big as you are. During late spring and early summer, tarpon fill the passes and move into the estuarine waters of Pine Island Sound. Gasparilla Island State Recreation Area's landmark is the low wooden lighthouse established in 1890 at the southern tip. The lighthouse is open to visitors the last Saturday of every month.
