Coming down from Sarasota or up from Fort Myers, Punta Gorda is a natural break — and unlike most stops on that drive, it has enough courts that you'll get on one. The harbor setting doesn't hurt either.
Charlotte County was hit hard by recent hurricanes and several facilities have been repaired, resurfaced or relocated. The upside is a lot of very new surfacing. The catch is that hours and access change — confirm before you drive.
Small-town friendly. Regulars will pull a visitor into a game without much preamble. Skill runs from genuine beginner through solid 4.0, and both find games most mornings.
