Palms and Pines Riverside Resort

Fish on the Peace River from the pier of Palms and Pines Riverside Resort or take a canoe out nearby for a chance to land bass, bream and catfish of up to 30lb migrating down from Charlotte Harbor. Sea fishing trips, full day trips and night fishing trips can all be arranged from Punta Gorda. In town, pedal or wander the Harborwalk, Linear Park and the trails throughout the city for cycling and walking, or zigzag around Punta Gorda's many registered historical sites including the A. C. Freeman House, the Old First National Bank, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Punta Gorda Residential District. Car fans can also have a look at the Muscle Car City Museum and its collection of 200+ muscle cars from the 1950s to the early 1970s. The Peace River Wildlife Center is six miles away, and access to the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park within seven. For lazy days, the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are 25 miles away.
