Bonita Springs started as a small fishing village that survived on proceeds from selling salted fish to Cuban traders from beachside thatched huts. The city has since grown to a prospering community of over 23,000 residents. Old Florida homes, cypress trees and dangling Spanish moss give Bonita Springs a refreshing blend of old Southern charm and modernity. Bonita Springs is also replete with rivers, bays and finger canals that are excellent for fishing and outdoor recreation, and provide a scenic backdrop for waterfront lodging. Bonita's sparkling beaches are a perfect retreat from the stress of everyday life, and attract visitors from miles away.
