Where is Punta Gorda?


Frequently Asked Question - Where is Punta Gorda?

Many people have asked us, “Where is Punta Gorda?” From the end of the Galveston Jetties, pretend you are flying over the Gulf of Mexico 667 nm, somewhat south of east (104 T) to Boca Grande Pass, about 62 nm SSE of the entrance to Tampa Bay. Enter Charlotte Harbor via the pass. Punta Gorda lies on the east side of harbor bordered by the Peace River on the north. The images are screen shots taken from http://demo.geogarage.com/noaa/.





The Goggle Earth images below show Eagle’s Wings track through the Ponce de Leon Inlet to her berth in Punta Gorda Isles. The track even shows Eagle's Wings turning around to dock!
