Bonita Beach Park’s parking lot and amenities closed Sept. 8, 2026. The county page says: “Starting September 8, 2026, the parking lot and beach park amenities will be closed to patrons due to construction efforts to restore and repair damages from Hurricane Ian” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The page gives no reopening date.
The county says: “Pedestrian access to the beach will be available through nearby Bonita Beach Access #1 throughout the duration of construction.” It points to LeeTran ULTRA On Demand at www.RideLeeTran.com. The county parking page lists the Access #1 lot as “Parking Lot Closed Starting Sept. 8, 2026 for Construction,” so access there is on foot. Accesses #2 through #9 are listed as “free to park” on a separate county page (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). See our Access #10 post for the south end.
The page lists “Parking is $2 per hour,” hours of “Dawn to dusk,” and “Lee County’s Annual Parking Subscription is not accepted at this park.” It says the park is on “the southern tip of Bonita Beach” and has been open to the public since 1992. Compare other beach lots on our Lee County ramp and parking fees page.
The park page gives 27954 Hickory Blvd. The county parking page lists Bonita Beach Park at 27594 Hickory Blvd with “No Kiosk until after final hurricane repairs are completed.” One of those looks like a transposition, and the county does not say which. Use a map and the county’s signage.
“No pets allowed. No fires and no grilling on the beach.” “No fishing within the marked swim zone.” The page adds: “A Saltwater Fishing License is required to saltwater fish from shore. There is no fee for a Resident Annual Saltwater Shoreline Fishing License.” Listed amenities are Paddlecraft Landing/Launch, Restrooms, Beach Access and Showers. Our license guide covers the options.
The contact listed is (239) 229-0632.
