Bonita Springs Florida is located on both Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The area referred to as Bonita Beach FL is located on a road-accessible barrier island (Little Hickory Island) that lies between the Gulf of Mexico and Estero Bay. Bonita Beach real estate consists of homes with gulf access and high rise condos. Many come with boat docks. The Imperial River flows through the downtown district of Bonita Springs and empties into Estero Bay. The city is the northernmost city on the west coast of Florida that has a tropical climate, having a mean January temperature of 65°. Fort Myers Beach directly to the north has a January mean of 64° which gives it a subtropical climate.

Bonita Springs, known as the gateway to the gulf, is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and islands along the gulf of Mexico.  In addition to the beaches, Bonita Springs also has extensive freshwater lakes and streams.  Boating, fishing, shelling and sunning & golf are just some of the wonderful outdoor activities that Bonita Springs offers.

Historically & Culturally, the heart of Estero Florida is the spring-fed Estero River, which flows to Estero Bay.  Some of  the earliest European settlers in Estero Florida were fishing families that lived on Mound Key, a mangrove ring island that dominates Estero Bay.  During the early 20th century, these families moved upriver to the settlement which came to be known as Estero.
