This 2.5-mile stretch of beach has a remote feel for families wanting a quiet beach day. Modern amenities like restrooms, picnic tables, grills and a sand volleyball court are available. Kids will love birding and beach combing, and even dogs can enjoy the area at the beach’s off-leash dog park.
Good Eats
There are several spots to enjoy a good bite in Bonita Springs. Kids will love gorging on waffles at Waffle Monkey, which also serves sandwiches. In the morning, grab some coffee and croissants at Wolfmoon, and split the day up with a quick pizza at Napoli on the Bay. For parents wishing for a sophisticated dinner with cocktails, The Bohemian is the place to go.
