South Gulf Cove is a boater's neighborhood built around a network of navigable canals that connect, via a community lock, out to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf beyond. The waterfront lots here draw people who want a dock in the backyard, and the streets fold into a handful of adjacent communities like Gulf Cove and O'hara within the larger Port Charlotte area. Families are served by Myakka River Elementary School and Lemon Bay High School, and the pace is quiet and residential rather than busy.
