Punta Gorda

We were supposed to go to PCB this summer, but decided to go to my father in-laws house in Punta Gorda, FL. Any recommendations for things to do there? Will be me, my wife, and my 5-year-old. Went about 15 years ago when we first started dating but open to anything. We will have a boat.

Having a boat takes that from a “what are we going to do? to many possibilities.
In PGA there is a boardwalk area-Fishermen’s Village- with shops and restaurants that’s decent enough. With a boat you could make Cabbage Key - kid will love the tortoises, cool restaurant bar; Boca Grande, North Captiva - dock and rent a golf cart. I’d spend a lot of time on the boat going up and down the IC and finding cool places.

From a local:
Fishermans village is good to walk thru. Go to the new Tiki Bar on the water. The best rum runner around and only $10.00! Winsett House has great happy hour this time of year and great food. The city has free bikes, there are several routes that go along the water and thru the city. Its a fun outing. Peace River Wildlife is a rehab facility. Its donations only. Nice to walk thru. The Celtic Ray is the only pub in town- its a local fave. You can walk the walking path by Peace River thru the waterfront parks. North of PG has a place that does airboat tours on the Peace River. Best seafood is Riveria Bar and Grill. Cant get in there during season, so its perfect time to go. Sit outside by the water.
Regarding boating- its a haul from PG to Boca Grande via boat thru Charlotte Harbour. But there is the BG sandbar that is such a great time. Its easier to drive to BG and put your boat in there and boat north in the intercoastal to Stump Pass. Or go south to Little captiva or even further to Captiva. You can also stop at Cayo Costa to swim and wade.
Boca Grande itself is the best beaches and water around then Englewood beach.
