Mediterranean terra-cotta tiled roofs over luxury suites and condominiums. Stunning water views, bobbing yachts, breathtaking vistas and lots of sunshine.
Cape Harbour, off Chiquita Boulevard in southwest Cape Coral, combines the sophistication of a European setting with the cozy charm of Southwest Florida. Local residents, tourists and snowbirds can enjoy dining and docking, sightseeing on a cruise from the marina, touring one of the model condominiums and, of course, perusing one of the several boutiques or galleries.
The word here is relaxed. Couples, old and young, stroll down the walkways and pause to sit at LongBoards, the open-air cabana bar, or stop into Run Agrounds for its legendary gelato.
Many shops are locally owned and their focus unique. There’s a doggie shop for treats and clothes for your canine. For antique lovers, Mamma Mia’s Treasures has hand-painted porcelain tea sets and vintage porcelain dolls. Soak in culture and creativity at Harbourview Gallery, with paintings, pottery, jewelry and more. For sun worshippers, Island Jewelers carries pendants in seashore-inspired shapes — turtles, starfish, sailboats — each with a glint of turquoise to remind you of blue Gulf waters.
Tropics & Paradise and Islands Tropically Inspired serve up T-shirts, breezy dresses and more. Islands also has a variety of tiki-inspired mugs and a selection of designer sunglasses.

Ladies can get custom fit for swimwear — or find fashions in a variety of styles — at The Bikini Company. At Divine Divas, find dashing fashions from European designers. Divas-in-training and brides-to-be will enjoy the sparkling tiaras and bright totes at Carried Away Distinctive Handbags, which also has a selection of books on wedding planning and honeymoon destinations.
If you are planning to tie the knot, The Pavilion at Cape Harbour is a popular setting, with nearby High Maintenance Salon and Spa ready to cater to you and your attendants.
Take advantage of Cape Harbour’s enviable position on the waters by taking one of Banana Bay Tour Company’s cruises. And if you’re dreaming of a boat of your own, Paradigm Yacht Sales, Dolphin Yacht Sales and Galati Yachts can help you find your own floating palace.
When it’s time to take a break from all that shopping (and daydreaming), Rumrunners is a special place to escape. You can also head to The Joint for lemon-caper hummus or enjoy Café Pignoli’s deli-fresh meats and cheeses and evening tapas.
The fun doesn’t end with that glorious sunset. Bike nights, live music and more take place almost every night. Cape Harbour is a one-stop shop for all that’s Southwest Florida.
