Great post. I’ve lived in Naples for 25 years and didn’t know how the whole beach permitting thing worked.
I have an off topic question: Do you know where (if it exists) the Bonita Springs boardwalk is? I’ve been trying to find it with no luck. Thanks.
Jermaine,
I don’t know! There is a boardwalk thru a preserves at Bernwood Center behind the CVS pharmacy store, one at Lover’s Key and one at Barefoot preserve. My best guess.
