Bonita Springs holidays: What to do

Many people come to Bonita Springs to enjoy its excellent and pristine beaches. In particular, Barefoot Beach is a must visit; a local favourite, the beach is home to a range of wildlife, including gopher tortoises and sea turtles, and makes for an excellent family day out. Couples looking for a romantic evening walk should visit the Little Hickory Beach Park, a peaceful beach which offers the best views of the sunset in the area. Away from the beach (but not far) is the Flamingo Island Flea Market, a market with hundreds of stalls, where visitors are able to buy food, beer and a whole range of items at low prices. The market is open Friday to Sunday and is a fun way to spend an afternoon.
