For a true Old Florida Getaway, however, the rustic fishing village of Matlacha can't be beat. With plenty of waterfront hotels, bars, and restaurants, you are never more than a stones throw away from great fly fishing.

Whether you prefer the city or the village, you will find the accomodations you are looking for as you plan your Matlacha Pass Fly Fishing Adventure. The links below will take you to fly fisher friendly people and places. Enjoy your stay!

Rates vary depending on season, but in general you can expect to pay as little as $49 a night to as much as $170. Weekly rates can be as little as $270. All the above quotes are for a room near the water with a place to dock your boat. Fishermen are welcome here, so the piles of fly rods and the smelly flats booties outside your hotel room door will be met with a smile.

While at first glance Cape Coral might seem more modern and civilized, the best dining experiences will be had in the tiny fishing village of Matlacha. Here you will find a variety of great restaurants all on or near the water and all within walking distance of the Matlacha bridge.
