Punta Gorda Isles (PGI) is a deed-restricted golfing and waterfront community. Development began in 1957 and over the years, various phases were opened. There are fifty-five miles of canals within Punta Gorda Isles and over one hundred and ten miles of seawalls. What makes Punta Gorda Isles unique is the fact that these seawalls are the property of the PGI Canal Maintenance District, not the individual property owners. The City maintains the seawalls and caps, and dredges the canals and canal inlets.

The Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association (PGICA) is an organization that represents the interests of its residents. You can find a variety of activities to become involved in the community, such as boating, gardening, clubs, and recreational groups.

If you are an avid outdoor enthusiast, you will enjoy the many recreational activities Punta Gorda Isles has to offer, including bird-watching, kayaking, boating, and golfing. St. Andrews South Golf Club is a non-equity private club, located in the heart of the Isles. Founded in 1980, it is one of the oldest established clubs in the area. It is a championship 18 hole, par 71 course and provided a challenge for players of all levels. If you are looking for shopping, dining and live entertainment, be sure to stop by Fishermen’s Village.
