 "Must See" Areas in Southwest Florida |
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. We are blessed with Florida sunshine year-round and attract both
tourists and new residents alike, who come to Punta Gorda to enjoy the
lifestyle that we have become famous for. It is a paradise for
fisherman, boaters, sun-worshipers and shoppers alike. Our downtown restaurants and live music is unrivaled. We have a growing list of yearly festivals to keep you entertained.
Cabbage Key The 100-acre island is relatively untouched except for the Cabbage Key Inn and Restaurant and a handful of cozy cottages. One visit and you will be making plans to return.
Pine Island Artists, authors and musicians call Pine Island home. They enrich the local culture in many ways. The art galleries are busy, colorful and popular. Even the telephone poles are adorned with original paintings accomplished by local artists who have memorialized the beautiful natural surroundings in these works
Sanibel/ Captiva Did you know...our islands have 15 miles of unspoiled beaches, 22 miles of bike paths, 50 types of fish, 230 types of birds, 250 types of shells and 0 stop lights.
Boca Grande The Historic Village of Boca Grande, on the island of Gasparilla, is located at the southern tip of the Cape Haze Peninsula on Florida’s Southwest Coast midway between Sarasota and Ft. Myers. At the center of the island lies the nucleus of this little community, The Historic Village of Boca Grande. Here, “Main Street” still exists with no stop lights, no billboards, no high-rises and no fast-food chains. You will find, however, unique shops and art galleries, casual and fine dining establishments serving fresh seafood just caught by the local fishing captains
