As avid outdoor enthusiasts, we love soaking up the sun, getting on the water, trying something different, and having fun outside. We also know that some of the best ways to vacation this summer will include socially distanced trips that have plenty of natural, outdoor spaces, activities and attractions. With 830 miles of shoreline, 200+ miles of blueway trails, over 70 parks, 450 scenic holes of golf, and the state’s second-largest marine estuary, it’s easy to expand your personal space with safe and fun activities in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach.

 In Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach, we love our Outsiders. That is, people who want to be outdoors on adventures off the beaten path. Now that we’re getting back outside, back to the water, and back to our favorite activities safely, we’re excited to welcome you back. 

See why our Best Side is Outside. This is Florida’s Charlotte Harbor Gulf Island Coast, and we couldn’t be happier to say, Outsiders Welcome BACK.
