The closest public beach to the hotel/ wedding venue! Keep in mind parking lots are very limited here. Bonita Beach Park and Bonita Beach Access #1 is the first parking area you'll see. It's great for a long beach day. Doc's Beach House is a restaurant right there. And there's a water sports company if you want to jet ski or other activities. There are several other beach access locations past that, but no restrooms.

** About a 35 minutes drive from the hotel, but here me out - the entire 2nd half of the drive is BEAUTIFUL as you'll be riding along the Bonita beach road. Tons of gorgeous beachy homes and pretty naturey. Drive will go faster than you think!

​Plan your trip accordingly since this area is a tidal flat and is subject to incoming and outgoing tides (link on tidal times). During mid to high tides, the beach can only be accessed by wading through water.

Bonita Tiki Cruises depart from The Fish House Restaurant. Bonita tours cruise Little Hickory Bay, Cocohatchee River to Wiggins Pass.
