Punta Gorda’s historic downtown is a charming, walkable grid of independent restaurants, art galleries and boutiques, dotted with colourful murals and shaded by oaks. A weekly farmers’ market brings the streets to life with local produce, crafts and food stalls.
Compact and unhurried, it’s the kind of place made for an afternoon stroll, a long lunch and a little browsing — small-town Florida at its most appealing.
