Port Charlotte Beach Park

The Port Charlotte Beach Park, off Alligator Bay, has everything you could want in a beach - boat ramp, kayaks, canoes, a basketball and tennis court, a playground, picnic area, and more. Plus, it's open throughout the year. There are many more beaches in the area, and in neighboring towns worth exploring, however.

When to Visit

If you want good motivation to dive into the ocean, visit in June - Port Charlotte's warmest month. Though, keep in mind showers aren't uncommon that month. December, January and February are a bit cooler, but with highs in the 70s, you can still manage to go for a swim. In other words, Port Charlotte beach accommodations welcome guests year-round.

booking your rental

If you want accommodation deals, variety, and a memorable experience when you go on vacation, then book one of our Port Charlotte beach vacation rentals. Hotels offer up the "same old, same old," and sometimes at pretty steep prices. As an alternative, consider a beach house, villa, or condo, which promises a lot more space and amenities, but for a lot less. Go with a big group, or just your significant other. Take advantage of last minute lodging deals, or splurge on a luxurious rental and still spend less than you would on a comprable hotel room! You can even book dog-friendly beach condos or handicap accessible homes. Enjoy a Port Charlotte oceanfront villa with direct, private access to the beach, or your own private pool. There are lots of options and lots of ways to save.
