Yacht Club Community Park

A winding drive through a residential neighborhood in Cape Coral leads you to this waterside park with a public beach and boat ramp. If dipping your toes into the Caloosahatchee River is not up your alley, this park has a public pool too. It's not the Gulf of Mexico but the river still offers picture worthy views of the sunset. In fact, there is a Sunset Celebration the first Wednesday of every month, from October through April. You'll find dozens of vendors, entertainment and food at this monthly party. The rest of the year you'll be able to BBQ, picnic and play tennis or racquetball at the outdoor courts. There is a playground for the younger kids and shuffleboard for everyone.
