Did you know that Cape Coral has over 400 Miles of Salt or Fresh Water Canals – that is more than Vince Italy. Cape Coral is often named “Venice of America”.

Today I would like to tell you a little more about the Canals in Cape Coral.

Salt Water Canals – Gulf Access Canals

Are divided into:

Direct Sailboat Access: Those canals lead out to the Gulf of Mexico without having to deal with bridges – however there still could be a lock or a lift which would have to be passed on the way out to the ocean.

Unrestricted Sailboat Access: Those canals lead out to the Gulf of Mexico without having to pass any bridges nor going through a lock or lift on the way out

Gulf Access: Those Canals lead out to the Gulf of Mexico but there could be low bridges and / or a Boat Lock or Boat lift to pass

Riverfront: The River leads also to the Gulf of Mexico

Gulf Front: Those Homes are directly on the Gulf of Mexico

Gulf Access, intersecting Canals will give you most of the time a very nice water view

The most expensive but also desirable homes are Unrestricted Sailboat Access, Riverfront or Gulf Front.

Freshwater Canals

Those canals do NOT lead out to the Gulf of Mexico, from most of those Canals however you will be able to drive your boat to some fresh water lakes. Sometimes those canals look like that there is a connection to the salt water, but most of the time this is not true. There are levies in between or dams to separate the fresh water from the salt water for environmental reason.

Again, please let me know if you have any questions – I will be there for you to help.
