Slipaway Food Truck Park & Marina

1811 Cape Coral Parkway E, Cape Coral, FL 33904

Slipaway Food Truck Park & Marina — Cape Coral's first of its kind — is open and thriving at the foot of the iconic Cape Coral Bridge along the Caloosahatchee River. This one-of-a-kind waterfront destination seamlessly blends outdoor dining, live entertainment, marina services, and community events, making it one of the most visited destinations on the South Cape waterfront.

A Culinary Haven

Slipaway features 10 unique food trucks offering diverse cuisines to satisfy every palate — from gourmet sandwiches and fresh seafood to international flavors and sweet treats. Guests can enjoy their meals at The Helm Bar, a full-service central bar pavilion, in six shaded seating pavilions, or along over 1,370 feet of scenic pathways and boardwalks surrounded by lush landscaping with unobstructed views of the Caloosahatchee River. The venue's 3.1-acre site accommodates 120 dedicated onsite parking spaces, plus complimentary overflow parking and a free shuttle available Friday through Sunday from 3–10 p.m. for peak-demand evenings.

Waterfront Recreation & Boater Amenities

With 30 boat slips, a fully stocked Ship Store & Gift Shop, and a fuel dock, Slipaway is a full-service marina destination for boaters exploring the Caloosahatchee River. The gift shop is stocked with Slipaway-branded merchandise and local finds, open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Entertainment & Community Events

Slipaway hosts daily live music and has quickly become one of Cape Coral's premier entertainment venues in a laid-back, pet- and family-friendly environment. Recurring signature events include the Sip & Shop Night Market (local artisan vendors on the waterfront) and Wags on the Water (pet-focused vendor events). The venue's inaugural Fourth of July Bash is planned as an annual waterfront celebration. Slipaway is also actively accepting applications from new food truck vendors to join its lineup.
