Charlotte Harbor (southwest Florida bay)
Charlotte Harbor (southwest Florida bay), the second largest bay in Florida〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Visit Florida, Charlotte Harbor Area )〕 is located on the Gulf of Mexico coast of west Florida, mostly (2/3) in Charlotte County, Florida with the remaining 1/3 in Lee County. The area is also identified as the Charlotte Harbor Estuary. The harbor's mouth is located behind Gasparilla Island, one of the many coastal barrier islands on the southwest coast of Florida, with access from the Gulf of Mexico through the Boca Grande Pass between Gasparilla Island on the north and Lacosta Island on the south. Charlotte Harbor covers about 270 sq mi (700 km2)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Encyclopædia Britannica: Charlotte Harbor inlet, Gulf of Mexico )〕
The harbor is fed with fresh water from the Myakka River on its northwest corner and the Peace River on its northeastern corner. Charlotte Harbor is bordered by the communities of Boca Grande, Charlotte Beach, Port Charlotte, Charlotte Harbor, Punta Gorda, Pirate Harbor, and Bokeelia. Charlotte Harbor connects to San Carlos Bay to the south by way of the Pine Island Sound and the Matlacha Pass.
== Etymology ==
The name of Charlotte Harbor is a corruption of the name Calusa into the Spanish name Carlos. The bay was first known as Bahia Carlos, or Carlos Bay, by the Spaniards. The English changed it from Carlos to Charlotte in honor of King George III's wife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Encyclopædia Britannica: Charlotte Harbor Inlet, Gulf of Mexico )〕
