Port Charlotte is home to not only the stone crabs diners love to eat – 98 percent of stone crabs come from Florida – but the Charlotte Stone Crabs, a minor league baseball team! On your visit, be sure to catch a Stone Crabs game at Charlotte Sports Park. If you’re visiting in the spring, you can catch a Tampa Bay Rays spring training game in the same park for a fantastic day outside.

Port Charlotte also has beautiful spots to catch the famously vibrant Florida sunset, including Port Charlotte Beach Park and Bay Shore Live Oak Park. There are fishing piers at both parks, and they are great places for canoeing and kayaking. Tippecanoe Environmental Park is right along the edge of Charlotte Harbor
