Bonita Springs: The Real Florida

Almost eerily friendly and clearly passionate about preserving the spirit of Old Florida, Bonita Springs will entice you with its small town feel and big time beach beauty. Serving as the gateway to the Gulf Coast and brimming with activities and diversions of the best kind, a trip here will do anyone good.

Specific attractions in the bountiful Bonita Springs area include the historic neighborhood surrounding Old U.S. 41, which is currently being revitalized with the addition of shops and condos without harming natural treasures like Everglades Wonder Gardens.

One of the top beaches in the Naples Area, in fact in all of Florida, is Barefoot Beach. This mile and a half stretch of renowned shoreline is all you could ask for from a beach; it’s peaceful – most of the running around is done by the birds and sea turtles – and offers the perfect conditions for swimming, strolling and lounging beneath an umbrella with a good book. This single location could easily be all you need to reach that level of utter relaxation you currently pine for so don’t dismiss the hype – visit this beach.

Do save time for Lovers Key State Park; this spot shows off the natural gifts of Southwest Florida. These protected lands make it possible to see this unique landscape as it was meant to be seen – unspoiled, lovely and a little wild.

It goes without saying that boating, dining, shopping, fishing and golfing will be making their appearances on you itinerary as well. Day trips to Marco Island, Sanibel and Captiva and Fort Myers Beach are also in the cards for those of you who like to wander, but you’ll find contentment staying within a few miles of your vacation home, too. Ditch the car keys for the ultimate escape from reality; Bonita Springs welcomes you.
