This page I wrote for my old rv website RVforSaleGuide.com before developing the Vanabode as the best travel vehicle for cheap easy long term road trips. People still like big rv's despite the much greater cost and trouble to operate, so here's what I know about them. Bonita BeachBonita Springs Beach - with a portion of it a dog friendly beach. Bonita Beach is not quite as energetic as Fort Myers Beach which is to the north but it is a beautiful quiet coastline with two beachfront parks and ten beach access points within three miles. Except for Bonita Beach Park there are no nearby stores or concessions so be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. Bonita Beach has miles of bike paths that meander along tree-lined streets, past parks, and through nature preserves. These are the kinds of places where a motorhome is completely impractical.
Jason and I ate upstairs overlooking the coastline and we noticed that the color of the water was more clear and aqua than Bonita's neighbor to the north, Fort Myers Beach. As we were finishing up our lunch it was just about high noon and the lunch crowd started pouring in. Soon the seven car parking lot was full and the valet parking attendant started strategically parking in the valet lot.

You can see that there is plenty of room to run around and for beach goers to have some space as well. Above: Picture of one of the many breeds at Dog Beach.

The dogs use the bathroom in or near the water and do-do bags are available near the parking lot. You can anchor your boat at the beach to let your dog get some energy out. There is no RV parking in Bonita Beach except at Dog Beach and across the street from Dog Beach. We parked our RV horizontal to the bay across from Dog Beach and just walked across the street. We put the awning out and set up the table and chairs. When we wanted a break or were finished with the beach we had a place to go to with shade and the cool breeze off the bay blowing across.

Jason's thoughts - Awesome fun, perfect inter-island kayaking, beach front woods and hiking, mangrove forests for fishing, clear water, big trees, and the awesome Dog Beach - a special beach set
aside by the city for dog lovers. Hundreds, and I do mean HUNDREDS, of dogs of every breed and size, color and age plus their unique owners come and go throughout the day. Dogs are play fighting, chasing
Frisbees and throw toys, wrestling and running full blast right over your blankets and chairs. Many will sit on your lap, pee on your chair, drink your water, and bark as you leave. I don't care if you
have a dog or not on the weekends you should definitely VISIT at least once. Free roadside parking within 1,000 feet of the water. Free poop bags but no water or facilities. The scene at the Bonita Public
beach area is a bit different. Crowded during the high season with very little sand. You have to zig zag past all those in beach chairs and the rentals for kayaks and jet skis. Very pretty with the Doc's
Beachhouse restaurant on the ocean and convenient restrooms and showers on the boardwalk. Kelly's thoughts - Hickory Blvd. in Bonita Beach is lined with condos and beautiful private homes with lush landscaping of tropical plants. The beaches are quiet except for Dog Beach which is extremely exciting and full of barks. Watching the dogs interact with other dogs makes the time pass so quickly, unfortunately. Don't expect to leave without sand thrown all over you and your stuff and at least one shot of dog slobber on your stomach. Travel Info - Head west off I-75 x 116 Bonita Beach Road. Follow signs to the beach. Bonita Beach Road turns into Hickory Blvd. at the beach. Leaving the beaches via Bonita Beach Road is easy and definitely our choice route.
