Read here about one man's love for Cape Coral, FL and the boating opportunity it presents.

Canal homes can have direct access no bridge (also called sailboat access) or have gulf access and a bridge to go under or a lock or a boat lift before getting to the gulf. There is one more type of canal home in Cape Coral and that is fresh water canal homes. Home owners on fresh water canals can traverse the canals to man-made lakes for some great bass fishing or enjoy their personal watercraft for a chance to makes some waves.

Many of the canal homes have their own boat lifts for storage and convience. In SW Cape Coral a boat lock is in place. The lock has recently been considered to be removed or rebuilt to accomodate larger boats and more traffic. Either way this will be a great plus for the SW community of Cape Coral. In the NW section of Cape Coral a lock has been removed opening up a large section of canals.
