Natural beauty meets peaceful seclusion on Southwest Florida’s coast.

Barefoot Beach Preserve is one of Southwest Florida’s last undeveloped barrier islands, located in Bonita Springs. Known for its pristine white sand, calm Gulf waters, and protected wildlife, it offers a quiet, unspoiled alternative to more commercialized beaches. Visitors can enjoy scenic walking trails, gentle waves perfect for families, and the chance to spot gopher tortoises, dolphins, and native shorebirds.

The preserve is part of a 342-acre county park and features boardwalks, picnic areas, and nature trails winding through coastal habitats. Whether you're into birdwatching, shelling, or simply sunbathing away from crowds, Barefoot Beach offers a truly relaxing coastal escape.
