Florida’s Southwest Gulf Coast contains a constellation of enticing coastal gems. Stunning beaches, including Ft. Myers Beach, Tigertail Beach and Pensacola Beach, fringe the Gulf, down the I-75 from Tampa to Naples. Sanibel Island’s shelling attracts thousands. Cape Coral’s waters are paradise for flyfishing. Golfers adore spectacular courses in Marco Island and Naples. Glorious sunny days and deliciously warm turquoise waters beckon in this often overlooked corner of the Sunshine State.

Our grandson loved stopping here. We biked here and also dropped in when driving past. We used it to burn off some energy before the drive home.

Fellowship Park

Reviewed By craigw122 - Cape Coral, United States

We have been attending Cape Christian Fellowship since they used to meet in a school. It totally blew us away when they said they had enough money a few years ago to expand the size of the sanctuary so we could have only one Sunday service instead of three. We also have a service on Friday evenings for those who can't be there on Sunday.BUT, our church leaders decided to build Fellowship Park instead to share this space with EVERYONE in the community. A super great and safe playground, wonderful splash park and a great coffee shop plus other amenities have been provided to share. Also, a huge baptismal outdoor fountain was built to share with other churches in the area. It is beautiful and a testament to Cape Christian's commitment to Love God, Love People.
