If the seafood at the Lazy Flamingo was any fresher,

It would have to be served underwater!

You can bring your own fresh caught fish and they will cook it and serve it to you!

After 9pm, the only Matlacha restaurant open is Bert's Bar and Grill which is famous for NY style pizza awesome wings and real grouper sandwiches. MY mom's thinks their hamburgers are legendary! A Publix grocery store is just a mile away with a Beef O'Bradys and another Chinese restaurant a few doors down. Many more restaurants are just a few miles away in the Cape Coral business district.

You never know where you might find one of Florida's endangered Manatees, famous Snook or Tarpon, or waterfowl such as a Great White Egret, Blue Heron or even an Osprey or a Bald Eagle.
