Things to do

The cutest, artsiest, fishingest town in Florida.

A spit of land between Cape Coral and Pine Island, painted every color there is. Come for the day, stay for the sunset, and check the Art Walk dates before you book.

Getting here.

Matlacha sits on Pine Island Road, about 20 minutes west of Cape Coral. Parking is at a premium, so come by boat or ride share if you can, and expect the drawbridge to pause traffic now and then.
