Just over the midpoint bridge heading into Cape Coral on the right hand side is this Incredible Veteran's Memorial Park inside Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve. You can have a picnic lunch or bring a fishing pole & make a day of it with friends. So much to explore including a beautiful Catwalk to bird watch & sightsee. An adventure for everyone to enjoy.

It has a nice nature trail boardwalk throughout the mangroves and marshes. We saw what we think were otter tracks, but otherwise we didn't really see much as far as wildlife. There's plenty of parking, decent bathrooms, and the Veterans park right at the entrance. Overall, it's a cool little park to meander around in.

Such a beautiful place to disconnect and enjoy nature. The boardwalk through the mangroves was peaceful, and I saw several beautiful birds. Everything is well maintained and admission is free. At the end, there’s a scenic lookout over the water with truly spectacular views. A perfect spot for a quiet walk. I’ll definitely be back

I love it here the air feels cleaner, not to hot when walking inside the park. I do think the city should organizing a cleanup to pick up all the dead palm fronds that’s is piling up to give new plants and mangroves to be able to thrive. Plus it make the park look nicer and to show the city cares. Other the. That good park I notes bathroom has been upgrade.

This was a relaxing short walk around the boardwalk. We went early in the morning and saw a few locals (wildlife). You can also go fishing at one of their piers. It's also a memorial for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Freedom is NOT free!

Nice quiet space to walk- there was a lot of mosquitoes there. We were so happy to see a dolphin swimming around. There is also a lot of herbs/medicinal plants there as well.

What a beautiful place to visit. Very well preserved. Would recommend to bring bug spray. The walk is not strenuous but it is long so a good pair of walking shoes is also recommended. The bathrooms were clean and private.

There is about 1 mile of walking trails that are passable during the dry season, but they get pretty narrow the closer to the water you get. So, I would recommend pants if you really want to get out and hike further into the vegetation. The tower provides a nice view of the surrounding area.

Great place to learn about wildlife and other learning classes are available. Every now and then they have plants displayed by other individuals for sale. Free mulch is available now and then. There's a dog park and walking trail for your pets on a leash. Butterfly cage and iguana cage are on the grounds, with certain times for tours and visitors.

Well maintained park on the water. The dog park has a "membership" requirement. It has two sides both with ample seating and shade. Dogs are not allowed on trails. The trails are along water and anytime water is wet in Fl, there are gators. There is a butterfly atrium and garden with scheduled tours. There is a community building but I did not go in. There are quite a few picnic shelters. Work out areas scattered around park.

I visited Rotary Park to take my dog to the dog park. To enter, you have to go to the office to get a code, which was new to me. I’ve never had to do that before, so I chose not to go inside. There was also a sign warning about coyotes in the area, which made me a little uneasy and kept me on alert. I decided to sit at a picnic bench out front with my dog for lunch instead. Even though the coyote warning isn’t the park’s fault, it did make it hard to fully relax. That said, the park itself was very clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. It’s tucked away in a nice, secluded area, which makes it feel peaceful and well cared for.

This is one of our nicest parks Lee County has to offer. It's dog friendly, which is great!!! To use the doggy park you will need to register and pay a minimal fee yearly. Tho, you can walk your dog on a leash on the walking, running, jogging, bicycling path. It has a small trail to hike, but dogs are not allowed on the trail. This park is one the most maintained and cleanest parks I've been to. It offers doggy bags in many locations. I personally walk this park and think it's one of the safest. We need more parks like this one! It has become my refuge when I need to breathe. Go enjoy the outdoors, but make sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray!!

This place is so breathtaking this is my second time here. There's an iguana that is named Green Day. He is amazing. Beautiful park for the kids, very nice trail with a 3 story loft you and look around. Oh and u can't forget the dog park it's so big everything is so nice and peaceful.

Beautiful winding trails, a kids park, tons of gardens. We saw some wild iguanas! They do have a drinking fountain and bathroom area

I recently visited Sunsplash Family Waterpark, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. We arrived on a Saturday morning, a bit after 11 AM, and even though we had purchased our tickets in advance, we still had to wait in a long ticket line just to get our wristbands. The line stretched out into the parking lot with no shade, and once we finally got our wristbands, we had to wait in yet another equally long line to enter the park. The entire process took about 45 minutes. Only two out of four ticket booths were open, and there was just one person checking bags at the entrance, creating more delays. Once inside, we found no available spots to leave our belongings unless we rented a locker, which meant standing in yet another line. The Lazy River was another disappointment. The water was so cloudy that we couldn’t see through it, and it left my skin feeling itchy afterward. Plus, most of the inner tubes were either flat or unavailable unless you paid extra for a VIP rental. The wave pool that was supposed to be open mid June was still closed as well. We also encountered issues with the food service. The lines were confusing, and we waited 45 minutes for our food, which turned out to be disappointing in quality. My son’s pizza was inedible, and my chicken wrap was lackluster. The drink options were limited to soda, which didn’t suit everyone in our group. On a slightly positive note, the lifeguards were quick to respond when a kid needed help, though as a former lifeguard myself, I felt they could have followed protocol better. Overall, the day was filled with long waits and disappointments, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting unless some serious improvements are made.

We had a fun time at this water park on a beautiful sunny afternoon in August. The staff are friendly and professional. They have slides for all levels and ages. Life vests for non swimmers. We experienced the mini wave pool which was great for an intro to duck diving under the waves for the little ones. I managed to snap a few photos on the way out! Worth the trip and I give it a thumbs up!

This was a nice water park. Only thing was the service was very very slow and there was not enough tubes to go down the lazy river. Other than that, as long as you get here early you can enjoy so fun with your kids. About 130 ish it starts to get very packed.

Such a great day! The slides were exciting, the wave pool was a blast, and the kids had a fantastic time. Everything felt safe and well-maintained. Perfect place to beat the heat and make some fun memories! Season pass is the way to go!!

We went here for the first time last Saturday. We were able to get a 4-Pack Groupon. What can I say? We had a BLAST!!! My wife said that she wouldn't mind getting a membership here! We specifically enjoyed the Body slides and the Wave Pool! It was a REALLY fun time! Cant believe it took us this long to go!!!! But we'll FOR SURE be back!

Great place but small for the amount of people that attend. They make you wait for tubes, which literally can take an hour if you need a tube for a particular water slide. Lunch / concession stand took 45 minutes for a $30 pizza and French fries, everyone in line was pretty aggravated about the wait and people were growing impatient. Other than that, they have great slides and features, just dont go on a Saturday like we did....big mistake.

I freaking love this place!!! Its relaxing. Water temp is great! The food is pretty good. They offer alcoholic drinks. They do attempt to keep some kind of order on site so that kids don't run rampant. I do wish for some changes though! Floats get hoarded and taken out of the lazy river; People take them and don't return it. Should be a policy that all floats are "use it or lose it".

I found this park while riding around Cape Coral on my ebike. This is a really nice public park / recreation area. It runs along a canal for several hundred yards. It has ample free parking. There are smooth, finished cement paths that loop thru the park. The pathway follows along the canal, and there are several modern docks for viewing the scenery & wildlife. There is a dock and "shoot" for launching kayaks. There is also a small pier where fishing is allowed. The park has benches under shade trees, picnic tables, and plenty of places to put your own chair and read a book or just relax and enjoy the birds, the plants, and palm trees. There was even an area at one end of the park where rare burrowing owls have ground nests. You'll see many 2' white poles in the ground wherever these owls nest are known to be in the Cape Coral area. This park is a peaceful, relaxing, quiet, clean and safe place to bring your kids or your mom. AAA+++ (My highest rating)

Beautiful small stroll with an osprey nest & butterfly garden. There are plenty of spots to cast from and places to sit. Good place to play pokemon if you are interested in that 😆

Lovely place with a very nice kayak launch. Great place to kayak, and just relax out floating in the intertwining mangrove trails carved in the waterways.

Great place to put in a kayak and go for a paddle.

We had a wonderful day enjoying the water and watching the birds. We rented a tandem kayak, a single kayak and a stand up paddle board from a local company. Even the dog had a wonderful time. Very peaceful and quiet and very enjoyable.

Very different kind of kayak launch! I probably didn’t know how to use it properly, but I did find it more difficult to get the kayak in and out. However, it was way more stable for people to get in and out of the kayak. Lots of free parking. At 7am, the bathrooms were locked, and the two out houses didn’t have toilet paper, so you may want to plan for that! The waters were like glass most of the paddle! There wasn’t a strong current, small breezes, and like no shade so a hat and sunscreen were a must! Very cool to paddle through the mangroves. Saw lots of birds and some fish and crabs along the way.

Great place to launch the kayak from!! Plenty of parking and there's bathrooms. It's a short paddle out to the preserve through the canal where you can spot manatees. The fishing is good. There's some oyster beds and a mixture of sand/grass flats. Plenty of wildlife and mangrove tunnels to explore. I'll be back. I managed to catch a nice snook while fishing.

The museum has some interesting displays and you can tell the staff really care about preserving Cape Coral’s history. It’s a nice quick stop if you’re in the area and want to learn a bit about how the city started. That said, it’s quite small and doesn’t take long to go through I expected a little more for the admission price. Still, the volunteers were kind and it’s good for a short visit or rainy day activity.

My family (11 yr old included) really enjoyed this historic venue. We spent about an hour and a half here, taking a tour. The tour includes a short film regarding the history of Cape Coral and a guided, private tour of 3 buildings of displays and artifacts. Since we're new homeowners here, we were fascinated with the development history especially! Worth the $10!

2 hours far from closing. This ladies looked annoyed when I knock on the door, afterwards they were polite and told me that they were not opened. So I sat on the parking lot for a few minutes. 2 gentleman entered the museum and apparently had a different answer bcs they were still inside 15 minutes after entering. Don't waste your time trying to learn the history of this town if you're not white!

I loved that they had a celebration for veterans.

It was small but informative. We learned things we didn't know. Interesting if you want to know the history of the place.

Very nice. Staff was great. Good history lesson.

Thank you for raffle win 💞

Lobster Lady Stopped by here on a Manday night about 6ish. This place has an outside and two areas inside for seating. They also have a Sushi Bar area that they make it snow every hour or so. On the one side there are cold units with all kinds of Fish and Seafood items for you to purchase. This place was packed for a Monday night, but we got a table as they do take reservations for parties of 5 or more. I ordered a bowl of the Lobster Bisque to start plus the Bacon Wrapped Salmon, Boiled Potato and Salad for my sides. My wife ordered a cup of Clam Chowder to start and the Filet Mignon plus a Salad for her side. They brought out fresh warm bread rolls and our soups. The Rolls were very good and was the soups. Our salads got served next and they were good, everything looked fresh and tasted fresh. Our main orders came out a short time later. They looked amazing and they were very good, best Salmon I had in SW Florida so far. My wife’s steak was done just how she liked it. Our server Christina was on the ball with all our needs. I must give this place 5 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gulf Coast Terry

Every item we ordered was cooked to perfection. I'm not a foodie but I definitely noticed the presentation of their dishes. They've got great cooks! The staff was busy but amazing every step of the way. I would recommend every day of the week!

Amazing place. I come here every time I visit. This time the food was good, with the rice and red potatoes being ok. Also had the grouper sandwich, Parmesan crusted salmon, bang shrimp, fried lobster bites, krabbie sushi. Service was eh this time. I have had many times that everything is absolutely perfect but this time just wasn’t quite as amazing as others. Live music. Large corner booth to sit in. Love the atmosphere.

Stopped in for lunch on the way to Pine Island. The atmosphere is very laid back. It’s a fish market and a restaurant with a huge menu that offers plenty of options for seafood lovers. Gulf oysters were on special for $1.50 and were worth every cent for their succulent, fresh, and sweet taste. My husband and I also enjoyed the clam chowder and lobster bisque, and blackened mahi tacos. Will definitely return.

We made a spontaneous decision to dine a LOBSTER LADY on Mon. Nov. 17, 2025, and sat at a table in the bar area. Our Waiter was quite knowledgeable about the expansive menu and helped us find the various seafood delectable the three of us were looking for including real soft-shell steamer clams for me 😋 The entertainment and atmosphere was comforable & casual and the seafood was outstanding! We WILL be back. 🦞

Cool place for seafood with a fresh market Yummy snow crab Lobster was well prepared Skip the steak there … Service need attention Took forever to get our food

This is such a wonderful place! The Wysobi deviled eggs are delicious! Shrimp Tacos were amazing. The waitstaff are engaging and efficient. My 2nd visit. Each time was excellent.

Good food with indoor and outdoor seating. Lobster roll and flatbreads were our favs. LOVE that the kids menu had a filet fit a reasonable price too, my kid was happy. Reservation through Google didn’t have option to request outside but we were still happy inside.

Excellent service, tasty food, and awesome entertainment with live music outside. I also like that the outdoor seating is right next to a bunch of boat docks to view the boat traffic. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic gathering for our group of about 20. The pizza was shockingly good, the other dishes looked great as well.

Fun place! We had the Lobster Mac/drinks. It was delicious. A guy was playing the guitar

Food wasn’t that good and it’s expensive. Pizza is like a saltine cracker with sauce on it. Not good. Asian chicken wrap was so over powering with seasoning, I couldn’t eat it. I have had this before and liked it. I even recommend it to the people we were with. Had it before, but a long time ago. Fries are frozen over cooked. Not worth the money.

Good restaurant with well known Italianfood but changed in the us way. The waiters are very friendly, the dining room is very lightly. You also can sit outside next to the Harbour. The Menu is not overloaded. The taste of the menu‘s are tasty. Maybe the prices are a little bit high. But you pay also for the location. And the location is very beautiful. We would always eat here again.

Hannah was an amazing waitress. The food was good, the mac and cheese was really good but the sausage was a little too much. The duck was really amazing and super juicy and not dry. The pretzel came out quick, within 5ish minutes of ordering. The outside was really nice and it rained and they didn't even need to put down the plastic so it didn't get super hot. Parked in the parking garage ($8 for 2ish hours). The sunset was really pretty. The truffle fries were not that good nor bad, it was just oil on it, but no Parmesan cheese like most truffle fries.

This waterfront eatery has a laid back vibe. You'll walk by inviting outdoor sofas and high tops on your way to the host stand inside. The three small sections feature differing design elements to draw the eye while bringing some energy to the space. A long well tended bar features comfortable leather bound armchair stools, a collection of intriguing cocktails, interesting wines and beers all at decent prices. The dining space is the most Spartan with gray walls, wooden chairs and blank tabletops. The well numbered staff is casually dressed, congenial and attentive. We enjoyed the sharable shrimp with chorizo (excellent 9/10), a chopped salad (entree size, also very good 8/10). For mains one had the black cod (7/10) and the other wagyu strip (7/10). Pricing felt quite reasonable for a restaurant in this type of resort location. There is an opportunity to improve: embrace one of the more interesting design themes, lower the lighting levels, introduce more upscale seating and dress the tables. Our visit was on a Saturday evening in February. Free parking in the adjacent garage.

We dined outdoors with a party of 4 on 3/16/25. A small, but curated, and pricey menu that offers variety and flavor. All of our meals tasted very good but we all felt the portions were small. Pictured is the fried chicken mac and cheese, gather rigatoni, cod and short rib dishes. Everything was seasoned well and presented the same, but nothing was outstanding. The craft cocktails were sluggish from the bar and missed the mark on execution and flavor. My honest review is that this place panders to wealthy locals and tourists by overcharging for a mid experience. It seems harsh considering I have nothing actually bad to say about our meal! I can’t blame Gather for serving exactly what it’s clients want: a trendy, look-at-me eatery where old white dudes can hop off their yacht in the dock and get a decent meal just steps away.

Such a delicious meal, thoughtful flavors mixed with perfect texture and ambiance. We sat outside but the decor, atmosphere and lighting inside was eclectic and inviting. The salmon and fish of the day(red snapper) was amazing, wine selection superb and friendly and accommodating staff.

Just had dinner with my wife. Food Outstanding! Server Silver was awesome. She was also the bartender and made delicious drinks. We have dietary restrictions and the chef was able to take items out of the food we ordered. We will definitely be back! Thanks again!

We dined at the bar celebrating our anniversary on 4/13/25. The environment was casual and cozy yet still elevated and a great spot to celebrate. We enjoyed our drinks and the mocktail selection, the crab dip was fantastic as well as the burger and salmon. We were incredibly satisfied- also the bartenders were incredibly friendly and service was speedy!

Delightfully surprised by this restaurant. Stayed at the Westin and walked over. Every single food item was incredible and well crafted: Brussels sprouts, in-n-out burger, fried cornbread and the swordfish. Service was also top notch. Great prices, too!

We’ve been to Gather many times and plan to continue being regular patrons while visiting from Bonita Springs, Florida. The entire team of staff, the restaurants ambiance, and the culinary experience is always hospitable, fun, and delightful! We have enjoyed brunch on the weekends, Chef’s dinners, and regular nights out dining. We love it. If you are looking for a nice place to enjoy some wining and dining on Cape Coral, add this one to your list, and get there. The outside area also has a great view of a beautiful marina, which makes for great sunset vibes. The parking situation is also easygoing. Enjoy!

Our family had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Fish Tale Grill. Our server Kristi was attentive and made sure everything was well. The spicy lobster spring rolls and coconut shrimp were delicious! The chopped salad was also fresh and really good. Our favorite entree was the seafood alfredo and the featured crab stuffed seabass. The ambience was current and loved the live music they had in the outdoor seating area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting some delicious seafood!!!

We enjoyed 2 appetizers on Saturday afternoon and this place never disappoints in presentation or quality and taste of food. Great service, attentive and kind. The mussels were fresh and delicious and the bacon wrapped scallops were outstanding! Highly recommend!

It's totally amazing.I chose this based on seafood and ratings on Google Maps, and no disappointment. The cocktails are wonderful and reasonably priced. The menu is well rounded with plenty of surf and turf options. The oysters and lump crab appetizers were very fresh and flavorful. There are lots of options to start with before ordering your main meals. The dinner menu didn't disappoint us whatsoever. ever, there are so many wonderful options for seafood and mixed non seafood options along with platters that offer a mix with wonderful flavors and portions, and everything is seasoned well. I added more salt and pepper to my filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked. Dont miss out on this option for dining. The server did seem to be rushing us, but we did show up one hour before the dining room closed - otherwise, this establishment is top notch..

Had the most AMAZING meal for my birthday!!! King crab legs were fabulous and the limoncello cake incredible. Everything was fantastic. Thanks also to Brad the manager.

Christy was great! Blue point oysters, clams and the most delicious escargot on top a marinated portabella mushroom. We will definitely be back! They have a seafood tower we are going to indulge in next time. Yummy

This is one of our regular stops. Great food, service n drinks. Lively outdoor dining patio and indoor dining room. Fresh seafood market as well. Weekend brunch is really fun with their live music entertainment.

I tell you what! The seafood here was as fresh and flavorful as can be! Service was super attentive at the bar! And the live music was a very nice addition! The space was well decorated inside and out and had a great ambiance. Outside was however, my first choice and it was nice! Definitely a return to try more options! Great for date night too!

Good service. Good atmosphere. Food: Beef tips appetizer was 4/5. Ribeye steak was 5/5, sides to the meal were good, nothing outstanding. Seafood platter… I was expecting a fish and chips style meal and I was given the option of fried or grilled seafood, fried seemed like the obvious option. The breading on the seafood was not good at all, and it was on everything. We have had friends who had great meals here but no one had this dish before so i guess this dish is a one off. Insanely large serving size for this dish but disappointing breading.

We have always had very good food and good service. It can get a little loud inside at times. there is an outside dining area if you fancy that. The seafood risotto was a hit at our table

The scallops were amazing. We had the point 57 dinners and they were also delicious. All of our food was made fresh, the drinks were strong and sweet, and customer service was exceptional. The atmosphere was festive and also calming. I would definitely recommend and you will be seeing us soon.

I sat at the bar both times and had a great service, their happy hour has got some good deals. I can't even recommend enough the sliders with sliced prime rib, a four cheese sauce, and a large side of onion crisp. The specialty appetizer the next night with salmon bites and crab with coconut and a homemade Hollandaise was spot on.

Point 57 Restaurant is a sleeper. The unassuming exterior caught my wife's eye, and we tried it. KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF fillet special on Thursday was over the top good!!! The special came with dessert, which I normally do not order. The chocolate sundae was in a league of its own. The interior has old-school motifs, and there are regulars. How did we miss this all along? Impressive waitress, she claimed to have worked out of that building for ten years. She was old school, using memory only, no tablet, no notes, but very accurate.

Best crab cakes I've had in years. Just had to place a 2nd order, after devouring the first. The wife had beef stronganoff and I had the point 57 plate; blackened salmon and shrimp sitting on top of potato/gouda cakes surrounded by crab meat. The gin drink infused with basil was refreshing and we finished by splitting their banana bread cake with brulee and ice cream. Everything was amazing! Especially the server who was very knowledgeable and friendly, all while sporting a creative hairdo. I would highly recommend this place and can't wait to return.

We love going to Point 57. The best steak dish hands down in Cape Coral. I always get the Delmonico 12 oz. Super juicy and tender. Atmosphere is always great and the staff are always friendly and amazing. It is my go to spot for a great dinner. The pork chops are great and the salmon cakes are pretty good. My wife loves the Filet Mignon 6oz. Drinks are not too bad as well. You won’t be disappointed. Local favorite for sure. ***Update*** Tried their Sunday brunch which was really good. Added some pics we ordered the Pulled Pork tacos, Ribeye Hash, and the Steak & Eggs. Really enjoyed everything.
