When winter starts dragging on and baseball season feels far away, Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach offers a smarter way to do Spring Training in a warm winter destination.
Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte—home of Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training—sits in the center of Florida’s Grapefruit League, making our area the ideal home base for a full week (or more) of games.Â
Rays games are the easiest to catch, but with the entire league at your fingertips, you can build your trip around your favorite team (or teams) instead of being tied to a single stadium.
From Punta Gorda, Englewood, or any of our communities, you have easy access to:
Atlanta Braves: 24 minutes to CoolToday Park – North Port
Boston Red Sox: 50 minutes to JetBlue Park, and Minnesota Twins: 1 hour to Hammond Stadium – Fort Myers
Baltimore Orioles: 57 minutes to Ed Smith Stadium – Sarasota
Pittsburgh Pirates: 1 hour to LECOM Park – Bradenton
Day trips open the door to Yankees, Blue Jays, Tigers, and Phillies games to the north, or Mets, Marlins, Cardinals, Astros, and Nationals matchups to the east.
When the game ends, your day doesn’t: amazing dining, fun outdoor activities, historic downtown Punta Gorda, and Englewood Beach sunsets are all just minutes away.
Spring Training in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach isn’t about squeezing in a game or two, it’s about building a trip around baseball and actually having the time to enjoy the games and your downtime.
See you soon!
