Charlotte Harbor was named by Sail magazine as one of the top 10 list of greatest places to sail in the United States. In addition, we've hosted the "Oh Boy! Oberto Redfish Cup Tournament" numerous times. All in all, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands are great places to boat and fish.

Charlotte County is home to more than 35 parks, 14 of which are developed and offer a variety of activities, such as fishing, swimming, shuffleboard, basketball, baseball, football, playgrounds and nature trails.
