Bonita Naples Beach Weddings

Bonita Springs derives its name from a medicinal spring along Old Highway 41, once believed by local Indigenous tribes to possess healing powers. Today, this picturesque locale in Southwest Florida is celebrated as the Gateway to the Gulf of Mexico, thanks to its easily reachable, sugar-white sand beaches and tranquil Gulf waters via Interstate 75.

Bonita Beach Access 7 Wedding Map

Access #7 is our little secret! This is the most private and quiet free public beach access to use if you are planning a very intimate ceremony with 5 or less people.

We suggest using this beach location only if you are planning for just the two of you are a small handful of people because, although its a secret little beach we want to share, there are only 3 parking spots available.  This helps keep the beach empty but you'll want to plan to carpool together. A small cost for a private elopement on our gorgeous beaches.

Some clients rent an airbnb within walking distance of this beach to simplify the logistics.
