Is there any pirate treasure in Port Charlotte?
The Florida coast has a rich history of piracy and with pirates comes pirate’s treasure. One of our favorite stories involves the pirate Gasparilla and $50,000 in gold coins rumored to be buried near Charlotte Harbor, just north of Fort Myers. Of course, rumors are just that, and there is no official record of a pirate named Gasparilla, so your treasure hunting adventures may not amount to anything, but the fun is in the hunt!
