Just get a rack of ribs. Everything's good but the ribs are superb! For this one you will need to drive across the bridge to Port Charlotte, but if you have a car it's worth the short drive.

It's beautiful, peaceful, and popular to sit on the beach at Ponce de Leon Park and watch the sun set over Charlotte Harbor. Bring drinks, snacks, and a beach blanket, and swimsuit if you're so inclined.

Lots of shops, bars, and restaurants. Great for an afternoon stroll followed by dinner. Daily boat cruises on Charlotte Harbor. Historically was commercial ship in the wharf and the Terminus of the train. A Linear Park replaces the old train tracks, great for a stroll or bike ride.

Excellent, fresh produce, real Florida Orange Juice I squeezed at a local orchard (we recommend the option mixed with strawberry juice), kettle popcorn, olives, and all kinds of other fun things to try and taste. Live music. 2 blocks. Downtown Punta Gorda off Main Street Saturdays 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
