Life on the water

Many of the canals lead straight to the Caloosahatchee River and out to the Gulf. Rent a boat for the day, book a fishing charter, or launch a kayak from one of eight public sites.

  • Boat rentals and charters for half or full days
  • Kayak and paddleboard trails through the mangroves
  • Manatees and dolphins, best spotted in cooler months
