A century of progress has turned Bonita Springs and Estero from sleepy fishing villages into the most popular places to enjoy all the outdoor activities. Fisherman and boaters can live directly on canals that wind through the communities, connecting the Imperial River, the Estero River and Spring Creek to Estero Bay (Florida’s first aquatic preserve) and the Gulf of Mexico. “Bonita” means beautiful, and that’s what it is, with a beach that extends north to Lovers Key State Park – where nature as its purest offers an up-close look for everyone, including the sea turtles that nest there from May to October.
If golf and tennis are your passion, then myriad opportunities exist, both public and private, for year-round enjoyment. Over 30 golf courses satisfy all levels of play, and tennis courts abound at public parks and in private neighborhoods.
Shoppers delight! The Miromar Outlets, Coconut Point Mall and Gulf Coast Town Center offer everything from designer labels to the finest fly rods. Gastronomic delicacies range from locally caught seafood to world-class gelato.
A thriving arts community, Gulf Coast University and the close proximity of the Southwest Florida International Airport make the Bonita Springs and Estero communities two of the most sought-after areas in Florida.
