This growth is due to the excellent values available in the area and the relaxing life-style. Active people can find others who enjoy the same pastimes such as sailing, boating, golf and fishing. There are also activities for those interested in arts and crafts and intellectual exercises. The Charlotte County Cultural Center is a popular center of activities. If it doesn’t involve snow, it can probably be found in Charlotte County.
