If you’ve ever visited the Punta Gorda or Port Charlotte area, you have likely our little gem of a spot called Fisherman’s Village!

Fishermen’s Village is a newly updated waterfront shopping, entertainment, and resort complex. It’s located along our beautiful Charlotte Harbor in Punta Gorda, Florida. It includes over 30 shops and restaurants as well as a resort with over 40 timeshare villas on the second floor that you can book through their website!

It also includes a full service marina where you can take a sunset dolphin cruise, rent a boat, kayak , stand-up paddle board or book your fishing charter. Because it is located right on the water, you can stop for lunch or dinner by boat! Just pull up to the dock, and your right there next to some of my favorite restaurants!

Some of my favorite places to eat are right there in Fisherman’s Village:

Village Brewhouse

The Pier

Turtle Bay (the newest addition)

Soon they’ll be adding a Sunset Beach Club, that will guarantee the perfect view of our gorgeous sunsets!

Have a sweet tooth? We love the fudge found at Simply Sweet! You can find this gem right at the front of Fisherman’s Village!

Lauren & Sam you see pictured here, were open to location ideas for their engagement session. I suggested Fisherman’s Village since it was a place I knew that would make for a fun and beautiful backdrop. They trusted me and where open to wherever I thought it would be best. Fisherman’s Village you did not disappoint! These are some of my favorite photos that I have taken!
