Area Guide

Glittering Gulf beaches are in your backyard in this South Florida suburb

Beach Coastal Boating Golf

Imagine waking up to powder white beaches lapped by the Gulf, with boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the serene Estero Bay right outside your door. Bonita Springs brings that Florida sunshine energy (nearly 300 days a year) alongside lush barrier island escapes like Lovers Key State Park, Barefoot Beach Preserve, and Little Hickory Island.

Rentals range from laid back cottage style apartment communities near the sand to modern condo developments downtown along the Imperial River. Areas like Bonita Beach, Riverside, and Historic Downtown blend calm coastal living with convenient shops, cafés, artist studios, and year-round events. Riverside Park bustles with live music and the monthly farmers market, while the annual arts festivals and “Taste of Bonita” food fest bring the community together with plenty of flavor and fun.

Steeped in history, the city contains several landmarks, like the 1920s Bonita Springs School, the Packard and Nutting homes, and the Liles Hotel. While the beachfront communities near Bonita Beach and Lovers Key offer that classic seaside atmosphere, Riverside and Downtown Bonita Springs provide a charming mix of boutique shops, art galleries, and award-winning restaurants like Old 41, Fish House, and Angelina’s Ristorante.

Golfers can play across two dozen scenic courses in the area, nature lovers can explore Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary’s boardwalks, and fans of kitschy charm will love the flamingos and critters at Wonder Gardens, operating since 1936. With small town warmth, a boutique cultural scene, and easy access to Fort Myers and Naples, Bonita Springs feels like a well-kept secret turned everyday paradise.
