15 miles later, it intersects with SR 31, a rural road that runs from Fort Myers to Arcadia.

[2] Bermont Road was originally designated as SR 262 when it was added to the state highway system.

CR 762 comes to an end half a mile east of Interstate 75 at the entrance to the Fred C. Babcock/Cecil M. Webb Wildlife Management Area.

It is named for Allen B. Tucker, an early resident that lived along the grade and sought to have it improved along with other roads in the area.

The Fred C. Babcock/Cecil M. Webb Wildlife Management Area was created in 1941 with Tucker's Grade passing through it.

Interstate 75 and US 41 are only a mile apart at Tucker's Grade, which is the closest the two highways come to each other south of Tampa.

[11] Tucker's Grade was designated SR 762 between the two highways before becoming CR 762 when it was relinquished to county control.

It runs along the eastern border of the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park before coming to an intersection with US 41 (Tamiami Trail) in South Punta Gorda Heights.

At US 41, CR 765 briefly becomes Jones Loop Road as it crosses the Seminole Gulf Railway.

[14] Burnt Store Road was designated as part of SR 183 when it was added to the state highway system.

[4] CR 765 was widened to a four-lane divided road from the county line to just east of the Seminole Gulf Railway crossing in phases from 2012 to 2022.

It passes the historic Punta Gorda Atlantic Coast Line Depot at Carmalita Street, where the railroad tracks cross through the intersection.

A number of services for the highway, including gas, restaurants, and lodging exists on the northwest corner of the interchange.

Though, Jones Loop Road continues west from here along CR 765 across the Seminole Gulf Railway to an intersection with US 41.

[20] Jones Loop was heavily rebuilt east of Taylor Road in 1967, and it was designated as SR 768 until the 1980s when it was relinquished to county control.

[4][21] Interstate 75 was completed through Charlotte County in 1981, and Jones Loop Road would have an interchange at its northern intersection with the freeway.

[24] The rest area for Interstate 75 at Jones Loop Road closed in 2015 due to low usage.

Kings Highway then intersects Veterans Boulevard, which runs west to US 41 and SR 776 in Port Charlotte.

From the county line, it heads north along Gasparilla Island for over a mile before crossing the Boca Grande Causeway to Placida on the mainland.

As it runs northeast, it passes the Coral Creek Airport and the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park.

The western segment is Beach Road connecting Manasota Key with Englewood, which is unsigned.

The eastern segment is Harborview Road, which runs from US 41 in Charlotte Harbor to Harbour Heights.
