The easternmost boat ramp at the Yacht Club will be closed temporarily, beginning Wednesday, August 5. This closure is necessary to complete sand removal work that began last week. One boat ramp will remain open at the Yacht Club; however, there may be congestion and delays.

The City of Cape Coral is launching a “Mask Up Cape Coral” public awareness campaign encouraging residents and visitors to use face coverings to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The campaign will continue through the summer and will be extended if needed.

The campaign will focus on the importance of wearing masks. Most people understand social distancing, washing hands frequently, and other CDC safety recommendations can help slow the spread of the virus. The City is encouraging everyone to wear cloth face coverings in public settings, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
