Found along Florida's welcoming Gulf Coast, Port Charlotte is located about halfway between Sarasota and Fort Myers, perfectly positioned to offer every manner of water-borne activities. Port Charlotte has more than 165 miles of waterways, providing access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico, along with many more miles of natural shoreline bordering Charlotte Harbor and the Peace and Myakka rivers. Additionally, seven of the 21 golf courses located in Charlotte County are found in Port Charlotte. Charlotte Sports Park is home to spring training for the Tampa Bay Rays.
