One of the best selling points of Bonita Lakes is the amazing access it allows to some of Southwest Florida’s most favored of activities and attractions. Bonita Lakes is geographically centered between the major metropolitan Cities of Naples and Fort Myers, in fact, is between the smaller communities of Estero and Bonita Springs.

Residents of the community can more conveniently connect with all points north, south and beyond. At the same time, it turns out that so many of the places that most people want to go are all within a few minutes of Bonita Lakes. For example, several of the region’s top destinations for designer shopping and fine dining are only some five minutes from Bonita Lakes. Coconut Point Mall, Miromar Outlets and Gulf Coast Town Center collectively offer some 500 options in shopping and dining presented by the world’s leading brands.

Another great outdoor adventure awaits some five minutes away, where the gentle winding waters of the Estero River beckon kayakers, bird watchers and fishermen alike.

Of course, every season is great for golf and given the region’s per capita composite of public and private holes, Southwest Florida has earned acclaim as “The Golf Capital of The World.” Bonita Lakes is situated at the epicenter of all this activity and some of the region’s most fabulous of fairways are mere minutes from the community. Whether its the course at Stoneybrook (one of the longest courses in the region), or that at Wildcat Run (an Arnold Palmer Signature course he once suggested as being among the best in the Southeastern U.S.) or Old Corkscrew (the only stand-alone Jack Nicklaus Signature course deemed #1 in SWFL by Golf Magazine); these and numerous others are appreciably near Bonita Lakes. Hockey fans can also get hyped over the action at Germain Arena, and NCAA basketball fans can drool over the dribbling at Dunk City, otherwise known as Alico Arena at Florida Gulf Coast University. Either of these venues are only some ten minutes away from Bonita Lakes.
