Bonita Beach, Sandy beach in Taylor County, Florida, United States
Bonita Beach is a sandy shore along Florida's Gulf coast with light-colored sand and shallow, calm water. The wide stretch of beach extends for several kilometers and works well for swimming and typical beach activities.
The coast was used by people starting in the 1800s and gradually became a popular beach destination. The area kept its calm character even as settlements grew in the region.
Local fishermen gather at Bonita Beach throughout the year to practice traditional fishing methods passed down through generations.
The beach is freely accessible during daylight hours and has easy access from the parking area. Visitors should bring water and sun protection, as natural shade is limited.
Behind the beach are salt marsh areas where herons, pelicans, and other coastal birds nest and feed. These wetlands form an important habitat that connects the ecosystem between the open bay and the shore.
