What to Know About Cape Harbour

Cape Harbour was developed by the Realmark Group beginning in 1999, with design inspired by Mediterranean coastal villages. The community includes multiple distinct neighborhoods, from high-rise condos to custom waterfront estates, and is more than 90% built out with fewer than 20 single-family lots remaining. HOA structures vary by neighborhood, and the marina is managed privately under Safe Harbor Cape Harbour. Compared to Tarpon Point Marina, Cape Harbour offers a more casual, eclectic environment with both public and private amenities. Against the Yacht Club area, it delivers modern infrastructure and deeper community design while retaining the authentic boating lifestyle that defines Cape Coral.
