Bonita Springs Vacation
Travel Guide
Location:
Bonita Springs is a growing city, with fine residential communities and
businesses filling in all along the Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) between Fort
Myers and Naples. To the west of U.S. 41 and Bonita Beach Road you’ll find
the beaches. The Southwest Florida International Airport is just north of
Bonita Springs.
Attractions: In Bonita Springs and the surrounding communities,
you’ll find a variety of attractions. The
Naples-Fort
Myers Greyhound Track, despite its name, is actually located in Bonita
Springs. At the track, you can wager on the dog races, play cards in the
poker room or even adopt a retired greyhound. One of the oldest Bonita
Springs attractions is the
Everglades Wonder
Gardens, which opened in 1936 as a refuge for injured animals. Be sure
to check our pages of neighboring communities for more attractions.

Beaches: To get to the Gulf and its beautiful beaches, from U.S. 41
you’ll head west on Bonita Beach Road (County Road 865). Turn south on
Barefoot Beach Road to get to Barefoot Beach or
continue north on 865, which becomes Hickory Beach Boulevard. All along
the way you’ll see nice spots to stop for your sunning. Just before
Lover’s Key State Park in Fort Myers Beach, you’ll see the Dog Beach
entrance, where dogs are allowed to run free and play with fellow canine
friends.
Shopping: The shopping opportunities in Bonita Springs are growing.
You can visit The Promenade, a beautiful outdoor boutique mall on U.S. 41,
or head just north to Estero where you’ll find the Miromar Outlet Mall, a
very pleasant outdoor discount mall located at I-75 and Corkscrew Road. On
Bonita Beach Road, you’ll find the Flamingo Island Flea Market. Just south
of Bonita Springs, in Naples, is the Coastland Center Mall, Waterside
Shops of Pelican Bay and Venetian Village.
Dining: The dining options in Bonita Springs are growing too. For
fine seafood, Duvall Street is a best bet. For an inexpensive breakfast,
try Mel’s Diner. Your shopping trip to The Promenade should include lunch
or dinner at Silver Spoon Café. Iguana Mia is a personal favorite for
Mexican. Sports Enthusiasts will want to watch a game at Big Al’s or
Spectators, both good choices with lots of television screens and a good
menu. For pizza or an Italian dinner, try Da Vinci. You can stop at
Prudente’s Italian Deli for a beach picnic.
Accommodations: Whether you stay at the beach, on the bay or off
U.S. 41, Bonita Springs offers accommodations for every need and budget.
