Barefoot Beach Preserve - Collier's Best Beach

BONITA BEACH, FL. One of the highest rated beaches in county, Collier County's Barefoot Beach Preserve is great beach for uncrowded sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico.

Access to the beach is through a mile or so drive down Barefoot Beach Blvd., along a very high end neighborhood of high rise condos, apartments and mansions. 

Excellent hard sand hiking trail that's well shaded, but still hot on humid Summer days. The trail has marked flora and fauna info along the loop with most having a separate tag on the plant or tree, but some tags are missing leaving one to guess which plant is being pointed out along the 1.5 mile loop trail. 

The east part of the loop is the mangrove trail while the east part of the loop is along the beach side with several entrances to the beach. 

Parking is $10 unless you are a Collier property owner and have a free pass. If you walk or bike in there is no parking fee. Bikes can be parked in bike racks, as they are not allowed on the trail.
