Punta Gorda, set against 120 miles of shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico, offers beauty and serenity, yet maintains a booming economy, inexpensive living, low unemployment and a low crime rate.

Punta Gorda is located within Charlotte County, approximately 100 miles south of Tampa, with easy access to I-75.

Punta Gorda, meaning "Broad Point", was named after the broad point of land jutting out into Charlotte Harbor.

The harbor is a focal point of leisure and activities offering boating, sailing, fishing, shopping, entertainment and dining as well as the opportunity to see manatees, dolphins, tropical birds and other wildlife. Temperatures range from the 90s in the summer to the 60s in the winter. While the winter stays mild, the summer heat is tempered by gentle breezes off the Gulf.

The Charlotte County harbor and beach community and barrier islands are set against sparkling waters and aquatic preserves, 12 miles of soft, sandy beaches, thousands of plant species, hundreds of hiking trails, an abundance of marine life, a Federal wildlife refuge, clean air, warm sunshine and a very special lifestyle. It's Pure Florida.

Canals weave through Punta Gorda’s neighborhoods, making waterfront homes an easy find, as well as an abundance of local marinas and boat ramps conveniently located for residents.

For those who want to enjoy the amenities of today's living in an unbustled and tranquil setting, Punta Gorda carries a comfortable balance of Old Florida Charm with modern conveniences.
