  The
Gulf of Mexico adds much to the
unique resources and enjoyment of South West Florida. At Charlotte Harbor & the Gulf Islands you will find two pristine freshwater rivers, the Peace River and Myakka River, which flow into the saltwater of Charlotte Harbor and Lemon Bay that flow into the Gulf of Mexico, creating a 270 square mile estuary.  
This estuary is an important ecological breeding ground for numerous
fish, bird and animal species, as well as creating a natural,
pure florida, boating, fishing, swimming and relaxing paradise.Rotonda's weather is tempered by the Gulf of Mexico. The days are typically warm with a light southwest breeze off the Gulf. The "rainy season", from June to October, consists of a one-hour shower every day at about four o'clock, usually just enough to cool things down a bit for dinner. The Gulf side of Florida gets fewer hurricanes because the Florida peninsula protects it from the volatile Atlantic weather. |
