Canal homes in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and Cape Coral need Christmas lights on both sides. Neighbors on the street see the front, while boaters and neighbors across the canal see the back. The best canal displays are designed around the whole property so both views look festive.
Light the Water Side
A bright roofline paired with glowing trees near the water is a popular canal look. The lights reflect off the canal at night and double the effect.
Use Your Palms
Seawall palms and yard palms are perfect for Christmas lights. Wrapped trunks and lit fronds stand out from the water and the street.
Match Both Sides
Plan the front and back together so colors and styles match. Classic warm white looks elegant, while multicolor feels playful. Either works when the whole property tells the same story.
Let a Crew Handle It
Canal side installs mean ladders near water and seawalls. A licensed and insured crew handles the hard part. At Shaffer’s we design it, supply the lights, install it, keep it shining, and take it down after the holidays.
