Cape Coral is a maze of canals and man-made waterways that put a boat ramp practically in everyone's backyard. Boaters here work more than 400 miles of canals, the Caloosahatchee, and Matlacha Pass, and the fishing runs deep — Snook, Redfish, Tarpon headline the local catch. With 23 public launch points in and around town, getting on the water is rarely the hard part; deciding where to point the bow is.
