Location and weather
Cape Coral is located in the subtropics on the Gulf of Mexico of southwest Florida. This city is in close proximity to Sanibel, Captiva, Lovers Key, and Pine Island, which is part of why it's a sought out residential area. There are also over 400 miles of canals in Cape Coral, where boating, fishing and water sport opportunities are endless. While this is a traditionally warm city, it is cooler in the summer compared to other areas of Florida due to the consistent breeze from the Gulf.
In Cape Coral, rainy days during the summer are short-lived and winters reach lows in the 80's.
