I normally don’t like places designed to attract tourist dollars but Fishermen’s Village in Punta Gorda is a delightful exception. Upscale boutique stores line an open air esplanade that lets you hear and smell the adjoining harbor as you shop. There are also a few dining options with terrific view of the boats sailing around Charlotte Harbor. And if you are having so much fun that you never want to leave then just check into their resort.
