Cape Coral canal types: Fresh and Saltwater

PAGE 2 of Cape Coral Waterfront Buyer’s Guide

Second, take note that Cape Coral includes both saltwater and freshwater canals.  ‘Saltwater canals’ refers to those with Gulf access- meaning that they have access to the area’s open water including the Caloosahatchee river, the beaches and of course, the Gulf of Mexico. Freshwater canals do not have any such open water access.  Note that this in no way is actually referring to the true salinity of the canals-- many if tested, would technically be a brackish mix of water, though abundant aquatic life can be found throughout both type of waterways.  It’s just a quick, slang way to say which offer the access to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Portions of the freshwater canal system have a network of small lakes and basins for freshwater fishing. However, we will be focusing on saltwater canals as the freshwater ones are not of interest to most true boaters.

Later on in this guide, we will get into specific maps so that you know exactly which canals are saltwater, and which are freshwater.  But for now, let’s move on to the topic of those with the Gulf access.  Specifically, let’s go over the difference between those which offer direct access and those which do not- and instead offer partially restricted access..
