Sunset Celebration

Sunset Celebration, Cape Coral

 tpangelinan Says:  It just so happened when I was there, Bob took me to the Sunset Celebration in Cape Coral. Now the shame was the sunset itself was a letdown that night, but the celebration still went on and was very nice. Down at the pier you will find about 40 local artist out with there...

Rumrunners: On the water with a view, Cape Coral

Rib City Grill: Rude management. Won't be back.

Rib City Grill: Rude management. Won't be back., Cape Coral

 AkinomR Says:  The food is excellent, the servers are wonderful - BUT the Manager of this Rib City is the worst person we have ever met. He has no idea of how he should respond. Because of this (and only because of this) we have to quit going there after more than ten years of loyalty. 

Red's Fresh Seafood House & Tavern: Best Oysters & Atmosphere

Red's Fresh Seafood House & Tavern: Best Oysters & Atmosphere, Cape Coral

 Nathalie_B Says:  I wanted my giant oysters, again, and meant to make it to the Waterfront Restaurant for the second time, but the locals I met along the way recommended Red’s. I’m glad we listened to them. From the outside Red’s looks like a mid-sized barn turned into a restaurant, and of... 

The Waterfront - Restaurant and Marina: Good seafood

The Waterfront - Restaurant and Marina: Good seafood, Cape Coral

 Nathalie_B Says:  During my first visit to Cape Coral I was dreaming of oysters. Very “kosher” in Israel, they’re impossible to get here, so when I travel I tend to “attack” all the seafood restaurants I can find. Therefore, pretty much every local resident in Cape Coral was asked to... 

Kumo - Japanese Steak House: Great Hibachi show

Kumo - Japanese Steak House: Great Hibachi show, Cape Coral

 Nathalie_B Says:  I have never heard of “hibachi” before my visit to Kumo. I was thinking about sushi, but what I discovered was even better. The chefs are definitely great entertainers and take their job seriously turning a 30 minutes show into a real culinary delight. Your choice of steak,...

KC's Riverstop, Cape Coral

Found some nightlife in Cape Coral on the beach. KC's Riverstop is located at the Yacht Club in Cape Coral, a place to gas up your boat, yourself, fishing pier next to them. This is a great place to catch a sunset and party it up on the beach.

Go fishin'

Go fishing off the pier, relax and wait for a hit. To my knowledge there is no cost to fish off this pier in Cape Coral. The people were friendly and pulling fish in with no problem. The pier is rather large with plenty of space to spread out. This is also a go place to catch a sunset per tropicdiver when him took me down here.

Music on the beach

Favorite thing: At Yacht Club Community Park you can find live music right on the beach. Live banks, jazz, reggae and other type of music. So head down to the Yacht Club at sunset for some live music on the beach
