Punta Gorda & Port Charlotte
Southwest Florida's quieter waterfront gem — where sailboat-access canals, championship golf, and a charming historic harbor town meet on the shores of Charlotte Harbor.
Community Overview
Charlotte Harbor's Best Kept Secret
Just north of Fort Myers in Charlotte County, Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte offer a relaxed, affordable waterfront lifestyle. Punta Gorda is known for its historic downtown, brick-lined streets, and luxury sailboat-access communities like Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles.
Port Charlotte spreads south and west with hundreds of miles of canals, golf communities like Rotonda West, and Gulf-access neighborhoods such as South Gulf Cove and Cape Haze. Together they deliver boating, golf, and harbor-town charm without the price tag of points south.
