Punta Gorda is The County Seat of Charlotte County and has a mere 19k that call it home year round. It is well known for its miles of canals that slide up against the many Luxurious Homes here on her banks. This quaint community offers daily entertainment, locally owned restaurants and Taverns. Fishermans Village is where you can find native boat/charter captains that will take you fishing, boating, shelling or just out to enjoy the emerald green waters of The Gulf of Mexico.
