Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Barefoot beach is one of several public beaches in Collier County. however, it was badly damaged in Hurricane Ian 2022 and still has some infrastructure issues. There are two car parks there and you pay by scanning QR code ( about ten dollars) the cafe and changing facilities are currently closed, but temporary toilets available.

    Docs and Bonita Springs is a wonderful beach. Not too crowded, decent food right there on the beach, white sand and parasailing, paddle boards, Kayaks and Jet skis all right there for rental. People are generally very relaxed and friendly. The only down side is there is limited parking available ad during Spring Break traffic can be difficult.

    When on a leisurely trip, it's neat to spend time with nature. During my recent trip, I enjoyed a kayak tour that included Little Hickory Island.

    We arrived via kayak to the island. Our guide provided us with a lot of information about this location, including the differences between low tide and high tide.

    It's a great spot to gather sea shells.

    Very cool spot.

    We stopped by the Dog Beach park even though we didn't have any animals on our vacation. It was great to see all the dogs and people perusing the beach, especially after two long years of Covid. It was alot of fun.

    Any place that's been around for over 85 years has had its ups and downs. We were there several years ago and clearly see this place is on a strong upward move. New exhibits are being built to expand the already-broad areas of animal and botanical specimens. It's well worth a visit and will leave you wanting to return.

    One of the best dog friendly beach I went. It is beautiful beach and my dog loved there but there are no chairs to sit for older people or shower, bathrooms near by. When it is higher tide you have to walk and go around the bushes to get there.

    Went for the 4th of July celebration and it was awesome. Lots of families. Entertainment was great. Fireworks were spectacular. Small town feel with a big impact. The only issue I could see people were having was that their wasn't enough restrooms and the line was very long.

    Well maintained trail along the Imperial River. The main trail is made up of crushed sea shells so, while it is flat, it would difficult for a wheelchair or stroller to navigate along the path. My 84 yr old father had no trouble walking it. It took us less than an hour for the whole trail which included stops along the way.

    Yes it gets very crowded. The vendors are pretty good. Fresh fruit and vegetables. You can get fresh bagels by out of New York bagels, Doug’s has a seafood stand selling fresh fish and lobster rolls, Greek and Italian food is also available. Can be a fun morning but parking is tight and it does get crowded.

    This is yet another nature preserve under the care of CREW, not as fascinating as the CREW bird rookery but - interestingly - now newly connected to that preserve by a long trail. There are three parking lots giving the good access to trails in Flint Pen. The main parking lot provides good information and maps.
    Crew Flint Pen Trail is a 1.6 mile loop trail. There are 4 trails besides and you can combine the routes. Walking here is very pleasant and simple. We did not see nearly as many interesting birds or other animals as in the rookery but it is good to have yet another hiking destination in Bonita Springs.
    Depending on the the season some trails may be wet.
    There is also a lake area, good for bird watching. One of the parking lots is here.

    The Purple trail is open and connects the CREW Flint Pen Strand trails to the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp trail.
