About Punta Gorda
The name, Punta Gorda, comes from the Spanish, meaning Fat Point. This historic small town is a hidden treasure of Florida and lies as a “Fat Point”, sticking out into Charlotte Harbor – one of the US’s largest natural harbors.
Centrally located between Sarasota to our North and Fort Myers to our South, our town is a delightful location, within a comfortable driving distance from Tampa, Orlando and Miami.
We are blessed with Florida sunshine year-round and attract both tourists and new residents alike, who come to this area to enjoy the lifestyle that we have become famous for. It is a paradise for fisherman, boaters, sun-worshippers and shoppers alike.
As the only incorporated city of Charlotte County, Florida, Punta Gorda is the vibrant engine of the area. It boasts wonderful restaurants, marinas and a pace of life that people from around the world come to enjoy.
The city offers businesses a year-round clientele, which is made up of local, domestic and international customers. It is also responding to industry as commerce realizes the importance of our location as Southwest Florida continues to boom and grow. We offer a diverse commercial arena; however distribution services, construction, design, retail, hospitality and tourism, health services, life sciences and real estate are the largest industry sectors.

In 1996, Money Magazine announced that this area was "the Number Two Best Place to Live in America." Since then, Charlotte County has received many similar accolades, including “Number One Best Place to Live in the South” and one of “America’s Best Places to Sail.” Very recently, Golf Digest numbered us the third on their list of the best golf cities.
