You can rent or charter a boat and fish or explore the area. Fishing is at its finest in the surrounding waters of the Matlacha Pass, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. You also have your own dock on the waterfront, so fishing is at your doorstep.

redfish300The Fishing is Phenomenal! Fish off the “Fishingest Bridge”, just a block away from your front door. During World War II bomber gunners (airmen) stationed at Page and Buckingham Fields discovered the great fishing off of the then wooden bridge and called it the “Fishingest Bridge in Florida”. The name has stuck to this day. The Matlacha bridge was made even more famous by author Richard Powell in his book, Pioneer, Go Home. The book was later made into an Elvis Presley movie, Follow That Dream.

If McDonald’s and Wal-Mart are on your “gotta have” list, Cape Coral is conveniently just minutes away where you will also find shopping boutiques, fine dining, a children’s science center and the city owned “Yacht Club” which is free and open to the public.
