Boasting more than 350 days of sunshine and comfortable temperatures all year long, Cape Coral vacation rentals are in high demand.

Climate

Whenever you visit Cape Coral, the chances that you’ll enjoy some sunshine on your trip are great. That being said, the best time to visit is during the winter months when temperatures are in the 70s F and dry weather makes for uninterrupted plans. Summers are hot and humid with temperatures that climb into the 90s, and the area experiences hurricane season from June to November. Storms are usually fleeting, though, and any time you’re indoors you’ll be immediately relieved by the comfort of air conditioning.

Things to Do

Cape Coral is renowned for its dazzling Gulf Coast beaches, including the Yacht Club Beach and the beach at Four Freedoms Park. Both are public, open to visitors year-round, and boast pristine sands, stunning views, and easy access to playgrounds. Keep in mind that there are no lifeguards on duty at either beach, though. The miles of canals also beckon to be discovered by visitors. Experience nature on an eco-tour with Banana Bay Tour Company, and bring your camera so you can capture viewing dolphins at sunset.

When you’re looking for a break from beachside fun, explore some of the amazing local attractions. Sun Splash Family Waterpark is a popular spot and features the Cape Fear ride. With its 30-foot high platform and 215-foot tunnel, this ride will get hearts racing and is perfect for teenagers and adults. For kids, there are a variety of child-sized slides as well as a tot-spot where little ones can play in an interactive land. For a quieter activity, the Cape Coral Historical Museum features exhibits that will delight the entire family. If you’ve left the kids at home, make an outing of a visit to the Wicked Dolphin Rum Distillery. Tours run every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday giving you a chance to learn about the rum before tasting it.

Dining

From casual, family-friendly fare to romantic, waterfront dining, Cape Coral has options for everyone. The Pickled Parrot is perfect for families looking for lunch after a morning spent at the beach. For a fun late-night atmosphere, enjoy an evening out at The Dek. It’s open late every night and features live entertainment week after week. For fine dining, treat yourself to delicious local seafood at the Fish Tale Grill by family-owned Merrick Seafood.

Events

By reserving Cape Coral vacation rentals, you’ll save money that you can put toward enjoying the local events and festivals offered in the area. Some of the best include:

• Red, White and BOOM: This Fourth of July celebration features one of the most amazing fireworks displays in the country, as well as plenty of vendors, attractions, food, and patriotic, family-friendly activities.
• Coconut Festival: Held at the beginning of November, the annual Cape Coral Coconut Festival features amazing bands, lots of food, carnival rides, and contests for young and young-at-heart.
• Festival of Lights: Just because it’s warm during the winter, doesn’t mean there isn’t any holiday cheer. This event in December boasts train rides for toddlers, festive decorations and a fun way to see Cape Coral in a different light.

No matter what time of year you head to the Gulf Coast, there is always something to do, from relaxing days at the beach to long-standing community events and festivals. Choose from a variety of Cape Coral vacation rentals, book one, and then focus on the fun.
