Welcome to Cape Coral Bridge, FL

A privately marked channel leads to a marina in Cape Coral Yacht Basin just W of Redfish Point. In 2002, the reported approach and alongside depths to the marina were 5 feet. Berths with electricity, gasoline, diesel fuel, water, ice, launching ramps, and a pump-out station are available; hull and engine repairs can be made.
Deep Lagoon, across the river from Cape Coral, provides good anchorage and moorings for drafts up to 7 feet. In 2004, the reported controlling depth in the privately marked channel leading to the lagoon was 5 feet.

The Caloosahatchee River flows generally SW from its source in Lake Okeechobee and empties into San Carlos Bay at Punta Rassa. The river has an average width of about 1 mile to a point 3 miles above Fort Myers, and then narrows to little more than the width of the channel which has been dredged to Lake Okeechobee.
A dredged channel, part of the Okeechobee Waterway, leads from Punta Rassa to Fort Myers. The channel is well marked by lights, daybeacons, and ranges. In 1995, the midchannel controlling depth was 8 feet.
Cape Coral, the extensive canalized area NW of Redfish Point on the N side of the river 7 miles above the mouth, is the site of a large year-round community.
The highway bridge (Cape Coral Bridge) crossing Caloosahatchee River from Negro Head to Cape Coral has a fixed span with a clearance of 55 feet at the center.
