Punta Gorda – The Jewel of Southwest Florida

COASTAL VIBE, SNOWBIRDS, TRAVEL - October 3, 2018

Punta Gorda, The Jewel of Southwest Florida

Welcome to Punta Gorda, the jewel of Florida’s Southwest coast.  Take a trip to this little diamond and you’ll soon discover why this community has been named the “Best Small City in America”. Its Old Florida charm has been carefully preserved, from it’s unique historic architecture to quaint historic cobbled streets.  Nestled on the calm shores of Charlotte Harbour and the Peace River, Punta Gorda (“Fat Point”) is ideally situated to reach the Gulf beaches of Boca Grande (north) and Ft. Myers/Sanibel (south) within minutes. This little city of gorgeous canal homes is the perfect spot for active families, snowbirds, sportsmen, and fishing enthusiasts who love to boat, kayak or just get out and feel the fresh salty breeze.

Punta Gorda is one of the last remaining pedestrian-friendly cities in the area. Local shops, restaurants, and bakeries are close by and easily reached on foot.  Take advantage of Punta Gorda’s free bicycle loaner program and go explore a little further out.  Beautiful bike paths throughout the city are part of an 18 -mile stretch.  Check out the Free Bike Loaner Program below.

Punta Gorda is no longer just a seasonal destination.  More than ever, the city shines with events and festivals that keep the community vibrant year round.  Check out the award-winning Wine & Jazz Festival, The Blues, Brews and BBQ festival and 3 Sullivan Street Arts and Craft Festival every year.  Punta Gorda Restuarant week, Oktoberfest, Harboritaville (Magic on the Water) and the Wine and Jazz Fest in Laishley Park are perfect festivals for foodies and wine aficionados.

The Big Orange Music Fest takes place in November, The I love the “90”s Tour in December, FunkFest9 in March and the first Peace River Revival in April. These events are perfect opportunities for music-loving travelers to visit. Check out edgewaterevents for more information on these Punta Gorda music festivals.

Get out and about, every Thursday from 5-8 pm the Punta Gorda Downtown streets are ‘Alive After 5’ which includes live music, food trucks, and many incredible restaurants and shops participating. Be on the lookout for cool classic cars too while you stroll around town getting to know the local sights and sounds. On Saturdays, the Punta Gorda downtown merchants host a Farmers Market from 8am-1pm.  A great spot to browse and shop for local produce, honey and other delicacies. Go see The Bread Lady, so fresh! And other tropical delights abound, like original HoneyStix, smoked mullet, cookies, vegetables and so much more.  This little market also hosts, an abundance of creative artists selling their arts and crafts.
