Grassy Point Map

        Port Charlotte is one of several communities surrounding Charlotte Harbor on the Southwest coast of Florida. Prominent among them is the Grassy Point Sailing Community.
        The logo for the Grassy Point Sailing Community depicts a nautical steering wheel radiating sunlight on a tropical bird roaming freely in our landscaped and natural grassy areas.
        The Grassy Point Sailing Community has both sail and power boats. Power boats can always use Sailboat waters, but the reverse is not true.
