Punta Gorda’s Best-Kept Secrets

Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park – One of Southwest Florida’s largest natural preserves, perfect for kayaking through mangroves, birdwatching, or catching dolphins gliding by in quiet lagoons. Bring a picnic and explore one of the park’s peaceful waterfront trails.
Peace River Seafood & Marketplace – This rustic crab shack serves some of the freshest seafood around — paper plates, picnic tables, and Old Florida charm. The garlic crabs and hush puppies are legendary among locals!
Bayshore Live Oak Park – A serene local favorite for watching the sunrise or casting a line. It’s quieter than the tourist spots, with shady picnic areas, walking paths, and a spectacular harbor breeze.
