About Barefoot Beach

Barefoot Beach is the top of the Bonita Springs market, a gated barrier island beside the Barefoot Beach Preserve. White sand beaches face the Gulf on one side, Little Hickory Bay sits on the other, and the whole strip stays quiet and low-density. It feels more like a private beach club than a typical neighborhood.

Six neighborhoods make up the community: the Barefoot Beach Club condos, the gulf-access homes of Bayfront Gardens, estate homes in Beach Gardens, the beachfront cottages, and Southport on the Bay along the bay and preserve. For buyers at this level, our luxury buying guide is a helpful starting point.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Why buyers choose Barefoot Beach

People buy in Barefoot Beach to live on the Gulf itself. This is the rare Bonita Springs community where the beach is your address instead of a shuttle ride away, with everything from gulf-front condos to estates at the very top of the local market. If direct beachfront and the privacy of a gated barrier strip are non-negotiable for you, this is the place to look. If you’re weighing it against the beach-island access of Pelican Landing or the marina lifestyle of Bonita Bay, we’ll help you compare true beachfront ownership with community beach access.
