The city of punta gorda was originally given its' name by the conquistadors and it means 'broad point'. Today punta gorda florida is a small, historic waterfront community with streets landscaped with imposing royal palms, brick lanes, benches and old Florida architecture to provide an old-fashioned atmosphere.
Visitors to the city of punta gorda florida should head for the popular Fishermen's Village.

Vacationers come to fisherman's village to indulge in many outdoor pursuits including sailing, sight seeing cruises and fishing.
