Boca Grande Key
This is one of the best-kept secret beaches in the area! Beautiful clear blue Gulf water, white sand beach, and seldom crowded. Costs $6 to get on the key, but well worth it.
This beach is a 3 minute walk from the house! The water is brackish, so not the clear blue like Boca Grande, but white sand and palm trees make it a great place to spend a little time each day without the hassle of driving

Boat Rental
You can rent pontoons and deck boats here - and they are close enough they will deliver them to Port Charlotte Beach across the street - and sometimes right to the house dock if the weather/ tide permits! They also have captains to take you if you aren't comfortable operating the boat yourself
