Port Charlotte
Port Charlotte is the heart of Charlotte County, as it’s centrally located between Englewood to the west and north and Punta Gorda to the south.
In addition to being the perfect place to stay to enjoy the entire area, Port Charlotte also offers plenty of great mom-and-pop shops and endless activities like golfing and boating and water sports, as well as a great array of restaurants and shopping, and hotel and vacation rental choices to suit any preference. It's also a good idea to keep an eye out for fun annual events—including festivals of all kinds, a boat show, and of course, the actual Fair!—at the Port Charlotte Fair Grounds.
