Punta Gorda Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Punta Gorda is a charming riverfront community located twenty-three miles north of Cape Coral and Fort Myers. In this small, old town on the mouth of the Peace River, where it empties into Charlotte Harbor, you will find a casual, friendly atmosphere that appeals to all visitors. There is plenty of waterfront in this town, and a very nice riverfront beach area. Here you can enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, hiking and walking in the woods – a great place to escape the crowds. Punta Gorda has street art, water views and 20 murals that enliven the compact, historic downtown district. The beautifully renovated downtown has cobblestone streets and gaslights, and many fine shops and restaurants. Other places to visit in Punta Gorda include the Florida Adventure Museum, the Ponce de Leon Historical Park and Peace River Wildlife Center. Off the beaten path, just southeast of town, is a wilderness adventure ranch where you can take a 90-minute swamp buggy excursion through a variety of ecosystems. There’s also a three-hour bike tour with bikes and helmets provided.

Punta Gorda Weather & Climate

The Southwest Region of Florida, between Sarasota and Fort Myers, has comfortable weather year round. At 5 to 25 feet above sea level, the region has a subtropic climate that is checked by the tempering influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The Peace River, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, contributes to the hot and humid climate in the summertime (but it's not unbearable due to cooling Gulf breezes.)Prevailing winds are normally 12-18 mph. The rainy season lasts from June through September, with rain spread fairly evenly throughout those months. Thunderstorms tend to pop up quickly but also dissipate just as quickly, with the sunshine quickly returning. The winters are lovely with warm afternoons and mild evenings and much less rain. Hurricane season generally runs late summer through late October in the Gulf of Mexico.
