Ready to kick off your flip-flops and soak in some sunshine? Port Charlotte Beach Park is your go-to spot for chill vibes, waterfront views, and plenty of ways to play!
This laid-back slice of paradise has something for everyone — calm, kid-friendly waters, a scenic fishing pier (hello, dolphin sightings!), a heated pool with a view, and courts for everything from basketball to bocce. Feeling adventurous? Launch your kayak or paddleboard and explore the harbor!
Pack a picnic, fire up the grills, or just lounge under the palms and watch the sunset paint the sky. Whether you're here for a full-on beach day or a quick splash and snack, this 16-acre park is the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and maybe spot a pelican or two.
Open daily from approximately 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Pay-to-park option costs about $0.75/hour; seasonal or annual parking passes available.
Dogs are not permitted on the beach or pier as per county ordinance
Visitors consistently praise the park for being clean, family-friendly, and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax without feeling crowded.
Many enjoy fishing off the pier, kayaking in the calm harbor, lounging on the shore, or catching a beautiful sunset, often with dolphins visible off the harbor.
Although the beach is man-made and located on the harbor—not the Gulf—users still appreciate the quiet environment and recreational diversity.
