Our subscribers keep telling us to visit Florida’s west coast so we took a little 2 day vacation
to Punta Gorda and Englewood Beach.
So let’s get started and hit the road. After a 5 hour drive from our home in the Florida Keys we are hungry and make our first stop and grab lunch at Peace River Seafood.
Peace River Seafood is an Authentic crabhouse set in an old Florida Cracker house. They are known known for their fresh steamed blue crabs, shrimp, oysters, clams and stonecrabs! Their
seafood is sourced locally and delivered daily by local fishermen. In addition to its restaurant, they also have a seafood market where you can buy fresh caught fish, crabs, clams and more.
Aligator Bay Distillers is A Florida craft distillery aiming to produce quality, handcrafted Cane-to-Bottle spirits. They give free Tours every day from 11 to 3. This family run business makes delicious Florida rum with 100% FL molasses, which is locally sourced just 70 miles east of the distillery’s headquarters.
We take a short stroll down the beach from WannaB inn and end up at Lock ‘N Key which is Beach front dining at its best. Great food at great prices in a casual beach atmosphere. They have Live entertainment several nights a week on our outside patio. Soak up gorgeous sunsets or come for lunch and glory in the warmth of Florida.
We get an early start to the day and meet Captain Chris at the boat ramp. Airborne Outdoors Fishing Charters is a veteran owned and operated saltwater fishing charter and hunting guide service based out of Southwest Florida. If you’re looking for a custom guided trip with family and friends in and around the waters of Boca Grande and the Charlotte Harbor. Whether you want some light action fishing, heavy action fishing or looking to do some fly fishing it’s all possible here.
Lighthouse Grill at Stump Pass is located on the water at well you guessed it… Stump Pass Marina, You can come by land or by sea. Take your boat and turn in at the (ICW Marker 17A) to enjoy great food and drinks in a tropical setting.
This is our last restaurant we visit on the trip. And Farlow’s on the water really makes it a special night. Located on Ainger Creek and surrounded by lush tropical gardens you can’t help but smile and feel smack dab in the middle of paradise. They serve Caribbean cuisine with a southern twist, fresh seafood and steaks. They have both inside and outside dining and offer full
cocktail service. All of their food is made fresh daily, and the herbs used in their delicious dishes are grown in their garden at the restaurant.
On our drive back to the Florida Keys we stop at a rest stop off i75 and saw a gator swimming. Man do I love Florida, this place is awesome.

We are less than 200 subscribers away from 100k! Then I get my youtube plague which I guess means I'm officially a full time youtuber! LOL ya'll rock! Let's see if we can hit 100k subs tomorrow and I'll start a live stream right before we hit it! I will be offshore all Saturday so if we don't hit it tomorrow I most likely won't be able to stream us hitting 100k so get everyone you know to push that subscribe button today and then we'll have a fun live giveaway YEHAW! Love all ya'll
the city is small and beautiful just wasn't too much to do so, I move to Hallandale Beach its beautifully city and the restaurants and places is amazing they just need a pier on the beach and the fishing would be great there.
It’s nice to see you and your beautiful lady go and do something a little bit different. A little R&R time is huge, remember that you only live once, so enjoy the time that you have left.
Long history of potentially poisonous municipal water. Many radioactive – cancer, dementia causing elements, toxins and poisons in it they just quit testing for and naming them. Total dissolved solids off the charts. Recently has had hexavalent chromium, molybdenum, strontium, vanadium the same stuffs that killed so many. They put Cr(VI) and others on unregulated list and stopped testing for it and many of the other poisons (aluminum=alzheimer's), arsenic, etc in the water that they do name or test for anymore DRINK/BATHE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! Latest big business in area is dialysis and cancer centers. Shame because there's so much $$ in area and they won't provide safe water..
I sell fish to them and crabs😂
