About Renting a Car at Cape Coral Center

From here it's 15 km east via Cape Coral Bridge to Fort Myers and 45 km north to Punta Gorda. An excellent starting point for driving along Florida's southwest Gulf coast.

Cape Coral is known for its 400+ miles of canals and the popular Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach on the Caloosahatchee River. Del Prado Boulevard and Cape Coral Parkway are the town's main streets with restaurants, shopping, and easy access to the bridges toward Fort Myers. Drive south on Chiquita Boulevard to Rotary Park Environmental Center for free nature and bird watching in the middle of the city.
