GULF COVE 
Park and Boat Ramps on Myakka River
Gulf Cove is an upscale community located just off Route 771 between Port Charlotte and Boca Grande just south of the bridge. It sits at the mouth of the Myakka River where it empties into Charlotte Harbor. There are many nice homes along its waterways and on off water properties. A number of properties in Gulf Cove are designated as having "sailboat access," meaning that there are no bridges to the harbor.
SOUTH GULF COVE has an extensive canal system (approximately 55 miles of navigable canals,) most of which are very wide and provides residents with access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. All the canals converge into the Interceptor Lagoon, which leads to a lock near the mouth of the Myakka River.
There are several fine restaurants within easy driving distance of Gulf Cove and South Gulf Cove, and the community is also a short drive to the beautiful white sand Gulf beaches. Fifteen minutes away are four golf courses, Long Marsh, The Palms, Oakland Hills and Cape Haze Links. Other recreational opportunities in the immediate vicinity include hiking and biking, tennis, fishing, wildlife viewing and birdwatching, swimming, snorkeling and diving, boating, surfing, parasailing, jet skiing and shelling. Gulf Cove is just minutes to the charming communities of Cape Haze, Port Charlotte, Boca Grande and Punta Gorda, Don Pedro Island and more. |
