Punta Gorda

Punta Gorda is centrally located between Sarasota and Fort Meyers, and in addition, it is also still within a comfortable driving distance to Tampa and Orlando. Due to the proximity to Charlotte Harbor and the extensive canal system,  Punta Gorda has an abundance of waterfront properties. Especially the neighborhoods of Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles offer many new and newer homes and condominiums on the water with deep water/sailboat water canals leading out to the Gulf of Mexico. 

Punta Gorda Isles is a Boaters and Golfers Paradise

Charlotte Harbor and the Peace River offer excellent recreational fishing and spectacular boating opportunities. The water is perfect for sailing boats, power boats, and small watercrafts, like kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes. If you don’t care about fishing or if you are already getting seasick by watching the pelicans floating by, you can play a round of golf instead. That will stabilize the horizon dramatically.

For example, you can go to the semi-private Punta Gorda Country Club, which is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course, and play a round of golf. They have a driving range and a pro shop if you want to buy some new equipment. If you need to rent clubs, you can do that at the pro shop as well. The people who run the facility are more than happy to make your day.
