Lake St. Clair.On any given day, Lake St. Clair, also know as “The Heart
of the Great Lakes,” is home for such pleasures as a ride on a go-fast boat, reeling in a trophy musky, pedaling your bike along the shore, enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine at a waterfront restaurant — and so much more.

within minutes of each other—unlike the other Great Lakes, where there are vast expanses of roadways and waterways between stops. But make no mistake, Lake St. Clair is Big Water. With 440
square miles of surface area, and 160 miles of shoreline, it’s about 26 miles long and 24 miles wide (yes, that means
there are places on the lake where you can’t see the shore). While substantial, it’s modest compared to its much bigger sisters in the Great Lakes system, and that means wind and weather aren’t as likely to impede your ability to

depth is 11 feet, so the water warms quickly in the spring. With dozens of islands and a mostly sandy bottom, there are a multitude of great spots to anchor, gather and take a dip with the entire family while others may be more adult friendly! So what if you don’t know what to do and where to
go? “There is something for everyone on Lake St. Clair,” according to Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel.

a boating Mecca. It boasts hundreds of marinas, parks, piers, coastal hamlets, and anchorages—and has some 150,000 registered boats of all sizes and shapes in the region and several of the State’s busiest boat launch ramps —all to enjoy its waterways during the busy season. Adding to Lake St. Clair’s appeal is the
fact that it sits between two countries—the U.S. and Canada, thus has an

And for the ultimate wet and wild thrill, ride the open waves by jet skiing or strap on a pair of water skis and hang on tight.”Other great Ontario destinations also

Southwest Florida is home to delightful year-round tropical weather, beautiful beaches,
arts and entertainment options ranging from festivals to the philharmonics. And Southwest Florida is home to many part-time snowbirds and full time residents who hail from the Great Lakes Regions in the United States and Canada.One of the most unique features of
southwest Florida is its many options for waterfront living: along the Gulf of Mexico, inland deep water canals, rivers, bays, and lakes. The variety of waterfront recreation is extraordinary: pleasure boating on yachts, cruisers, personal watercraft, or sailboat; kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding; water skiing; and world-class salt-water and freshwater angling. Whether traveling by land or by sea, there are beautiful white sand beaches along the entire coast.The primary categories of waterfront
properties in southwest Florida are: Gulf of Mexico beach front Caloosahatchee River front Bays and Harbors Deep Saltwater Canals (aka channels)
All Southwest Florida coastal areas have waterfront property, but Cape Coral is by far the most abundant, with over 400 miles of canals. The ultimate perk: the boat is just steps away in the backyard (say hello to the spontaneous cocktail cruise).
Sailboat Access PropertiesSailboat access, sometimes called
“direct” Gulf of Mexico access, describes properties on canal systems or in marina communities where passage to the Gulf of Mexico is unrestricted.As the name implies (referring to a
bridges or electric lines spanning the waterway between the property and the Gulf of Mexico. Sailboat access property is a must for those who own
boats or convertibles, motoryachts, or
almost any type of boat, sailboat access properties are valued higher than other boating-oriented property types.
(Be mindful however that in some locations, canal depth may limit draft
vessel length due to turnaround space).Condominiums on Sailboat Access
waterways and marinas start at about $200,000 and go up to a million or more for a penthouse unit. Single-family sailboat access homes start around $375,000, with many wonderful choices in the $500,000 to $900,000 range. Luxury properties start in the low one millions. Vacant, unimproved sailboat access home sites are $250,000 to one million.
Gulf Access PropertiesGulf access canal properties are on
canal systems that lead to the Gulf of
bridges that limit the height of the boat that can travel on the waterway. Bridge clearance of 8 or 10 feet at mean high tide is typical and generally it is 30 minutes or more to the Gulf.
Southwest Florida Waterfront Living:Something for EveryoneBy Brenda Boss, SageRealtor Group
Endless Cruising Destinations
For boaters, the choices for short or extended cruising are dizzying. Our waterfront home is in Cape Coral, smack dab in the middle of some of the greatest boating Florida has to offer. From our home base where our 31’ Express Cruiser is docked, it’s a short trip to enjoy casual or fine dining at waterfront restaurants and resorts in Cape Coral, downtown Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Cabbage Key, and more.
A great day out is to anchor off Fort Myers Beach, Lovers Key Beach, North Captiva, or Cayo Costa. Naples, just two hours by boat, is one of our favorite southern route trips. We get a slip at Crayton’s Cove and stay a night or two so we have ample time to take in the renowned beaches, shopping, and dining. Traveling north there is much to explore in the beautiful beach towns of Venice, Sarasota, Tampa-St Pete, and Tarpon Springs. For those who want to enjoy the serenity of just being on the water, there are well-documented anchorages along the entire coast. Boaters have their choice of cruising styles, either on the protected channels of the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW) or on the wide open, calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
And if all of that is not enough, there is indeed more: the Florida Keys, the entire east coast of Florida, and the islands of the Bahamas are all popular cruising destinations for Southwest Florida boaters.
