With a population nearing 20,000, the City of Punta Gorda is home to true natives that have lived here for many generations dating back to the late 1800s, and those that came here and made it their permanent home and left the cold weather behind, as well as those that have chosen it to be their home part of the year. Punta Gorda consists of approximately 100 square miles of land and man-made canals that provide boating access to Charlotte Harbor on the east side, making it an absolute boater’s dream. Charlotte Harbor covers approximately 270 square miles. It has been said that Charlotte Harbor waters had been traveled by the likes of Ponce de Leon, who they say was one of our early first settlers, and stories are told of notorious Pirates Jose Gaspar and Jean LaFitte coming to port in the area with their ships. If you love fishing, we have a large variety of fish species to try for throughout the year. We also have acreage properties if you have horses or just want to have the extra land around you.
After Hurricane Charley stopped by on Friday the 13th of August 2004 and wreaked havoc on the area, the City of Punta Gorda has come back with the help of the hands and spirit of the community and now is a place to enjoy living and visiting year round. It is an even more vibrant, beautiful, and active community as you will see when you come to the area. There are many things to do here that allow you to continue to be active all year long – biking, walking, running, golfing, tennis, swimming, fishing and boating. Or, spend the day shopping and touring our Fishermen’s Village and downtown Punta Gorda’s boutique shoppes and art galleries. Who has time to get older? Our lifestyle will provide you a quality of life you can only dream of right now. Make it happen!
