Wind at Bonita Beach & Kite Surfing

Maybe I’ve lived in Bonita Springs too long. I literally don’t visit the beach, as in Bonita Beach, as in the Gulf of flipping Mexico as much as I should. It has been taken for granted for years by this gal.

My skin is lily white and my eyes [...]

Bonita Beach, Fla Sea Star
No starfish or sea stars were injured during the filming of this.  Live shelling is prohibited on Bonita Beach or most beaches for that matter.  I found this little rascal on shore. He is unusual because of the color and having only five legs.  I named him Oswald and returned him [...]

What It Takes to Buy The Best or Just Get In…
The most expensive real estate in Bonita Springs is currently listed just shy of $10,000,000.  If you feel the need to have 12,000 square foot of living space and seven bathrooms, I have just the house to show you.  It’s not even beach front, it’s [...]

My Dog is a Prima Dona
I took LBD to Dog Beach at Lovers Key.  We tried it.  He was horrified at the notion that sand was on him, it smelled like the sea, other dogs were there, there was no air conditioning and there wasn’t some sort of location for the passers by to stop [...]

Bonita Beach Surfers Living Dangerously
As you can see, there is no danger.  Sunday morning I ran to Bonita Beach to see if the surf was sucked out because of Hurricane Gustov in the Gulf.  I was hoping to see it rough and blowing but no dice.  There were surfers that thought the same the that [...]

Take a trip with me to Barefoot Beach Preserve south of Bonita Beach, Florida.
I decided to try ultra violet light today. One hour limit. Naturally I snapped a few photos of a tragedy that unfolded at the beach. This town is so tough I can feel the grit in my teeth…..not only do [...]

Even Birds Contemplate Life at Bonita Beach
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy’d the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have love, to have thought, to have done…
~ Matthew Arnold

Walking at Bonita Beach
Don’t you wish this was you? I know I wish this was me. The weather in Bonita Springs has been really beautiful lately. This photo was taken at about 7:00 p.m., on Bonita Beach behind Docs, and it was just a little cloudy over the gulf. You could [...]

Lover’s Key Beach - Bonita Beach - Barefoot Beach
Did you know that two of the top ten Florida beaches as listed by the Travel Channel are located in Lee County Florida? It looks like Southwest Florida beaches are IT! Sanibel Island is a given and almost always makes any beach list. Lover’s [...]

Enjoy these sunny pictures of Bonita Beach. If you’re from Bonita Springs or Estero you know it has now rained for days. I thought you may not be able to remember what sunshine looks like. Cheer up, brighter days are head. Enjoy your complimentary dose of Vitamin D to get you [...]

Bonita Springs Mailbox Series

Did you ever see such a patriotic Manatee mailbox? Me either. Bonita Springs has a ton of manatee mailboxes, by the way. They’re right up their with dolphin mailboxes. This is what a manatee is if you didn’t know: West Indian Manatee Facts.

Last week one of my readers, the mysterious [...]

More Things to Do in Bonita Springs
Someone found this Bonita Springs real estate blog looking for “things to do First Date Bonita Springs, Fl”. I don’t think I’ve ever really written specifically about dating. I think I did do a Valentine day post once. It got me thinking that maybe I should write about [...]

Wildlife Paparazzi

Barefoot Beach ducks are just a little antisocial at first. They were playing in standing water until the crazy urban bush woman of Bonita Springs started infringing upon their personal space. I slowly squatted down and waited. The mommy was giving me the stink eye but eventutally it dawned on her [...]

Mermaid Mailbox of Bonita Springs
Hickory Blvd. on Bonita Beach is more than just prime Bonita Springs real estate, its mailbox gold.  The variety of unusual mailboxes is unparallel anywhere in town.  I do realize that you probably drive by a thousand mailboxes weekly and don’t give them a second thought.  I needed a free/cheap hobby [...]

People come to southwest Florida to buy Bonita Springs real estate often for one reason, the Gulf of Mexico. The white sand beaches of Bonita Beach draw tourists and future residents from all over the world. What’s not to love about the beach? How could visiting one [...]

Bonita Beach Parking Pass
If you’re going to be living in the Bonita Springs area for a while and you’ll, no doubt, be hitting Bonita Beach. You might want to invest in a parking sticker. The average “donation” at the public access is nearly the same for a one time visit as it is [...]

Turtle Nesting Season on Bonita Beach
A little know fact about SW Florida and the Bonita Springs area is that May 1 - November 31 is sea turtle nesting season. Those lovely beachfront condominiums and the homes on Bonita Beach and in the Barefoot Beach community are held to strictly maintain the use of their [...]

Bonita Beach Sunset
I am whooped.  I’ve been cruising the beaches all day helping a lovely couple finding a view like this from a condo in Bonita Springs, Florida.  Seems easy enough, doesn’t it?  It sure would be easier if the condos were just a little bit more accessible.  Listing agents don’t return calls, keys aren’t [...]

Barefoot Beach of Bonita Springs - Real Estate on The Gulf
Recently I was reading a luxury home real market report and how the market was holding up under the pressure of ballooning inventory. I decided to take a look at the Barefoot Beach real estate on the Collier County side of Bonita Springs, Florida [...]
