The next beach north of Naples — Barefoot Beach, Bonita Bay and Estero Bay, twenty minutes closer to the airport.
Bonita Springs begins where Naples ends, at the Lee County line just north of Wiggins Pass, and for a certain buyer it is the better answer: the same Gulf, a quieter beach at Barefoot Beach Preserve, the deepest golf-and-marina community on the coast at Bonita Bay, and Southwest Florida International Airport 25 minutes away.

Bonita Springs by Community
Barefoot Beach — a gated barrier island of Gulf-front and bayfront estates and low-rise condominiums beside Barefoot Beach Preserve, one of the last undeveloped stretches of coastline in the region; the most expensive address in Bonita.
Bonita Bay — 2,400 acres on Estero Bay with five golf courses, a full-service marina, a private beach park and the region's largest collection of luxury high-rises, including Seaglass and Omega, the two newest towers.
The Colony at Pelican Landing — a gated enclave inside Pelican Landing with its own golf club, private beach island reached by boat shuttle, and high-rises on Estero Bay including Infinity, the newest.
Little Hickory Shores and Little Hickory Bay — the boater's neighborhoods south of Bonita Beach Road: canal-front homes with direct access, deeded dock lots, and bayfront condominiums minutes from New Pass.
Bonita Beach — Gulf-front condominiums and cottages along Hickory Boulevard on Little Hickory Island, from mid-century originals to renovated beachfront.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay — the first branded residences on the Bonita–Estero coast, two towers on Estero Bay with a private marina and beach club access, completing in phases.
Boaters can also explore boat slips for sale in Bonita Springs; tenants and seasonal guests, annual rentals and vacation rentals.
Bonita for the Naples Buyer
Most of our Bonita clients began by looking in Naples. They ended up in Bonita for one of three reasons: a beach that is quieter than anything south of Wiggins Pass, a golf-and-marina community that offers more for the money than Pelican Bay or Grey Oaks, or a closer airport for a seasonal owner who flies in and out monthly. Bonita's luxury market is smaller and less liquid than Naples', which rewards buyers who know which buildings and which streets hold value; we bring the same building-by-building diligence — milestone inspections, reserves, rental and pet rules, flood zone and insurance — that we apply in Naples.
Bonita Springs Real Estate — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Bonita Springs from Naples?
Bonita Springs begins at the Lee–Collier county line just north of Wiggins Pass, about ten minutes from Vanderbilt Beach and Mercato and twenty-five minutes from downtown Naples. Southwest Florida International Airport is about 25 minutes north.
Which Bonita Springs communities are luxury waterfront?
Barefoot Beach for gated Gulf-front and bayfront estates; Bonita Bay and The Colony at Pelican Landing for high-rise towers on Estero Bay with golf and marinas; Little Hickory Shores for direct-access canal homes and deeded dock lots; Bonita Beach for Gulf-front condominiums; and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay for branded new construction.
What do luxury homes cost in Bonita Springs?
Bonita Bay and Colony tower residences generally range from $1 million to $6 million and above. Little Hickory Shores waterfront homes from $1.5 million to $6 million. Barefoot Beach estates from $3 million to more than $20 million. The overall Bonita median is around $500,000, reflecting a large inland market east of US 41.
Is Bonita Springs good for boating?
Yes, with a caveat on draft. Estero Bay and the Imperial River offer sheltered water, and Little Hickory Shores has deeded dock lots unlike anything in Naples. New Pass and Big Hickory Pass are shallow and tide-dependent; boats drawing more than about four feet use Wiggins Pass or berth in Naples. See our guide to Bonita Springs boat slips.
