Between Fort Myers and Naples, Bonita Springs gives it's 45,000 residents an amazing amount of what Florida is famous for. Beaches, sunshine and easy drive times from one coast to the other for the ape with a travel bug.

The preservation of nature is to the extent that there is a barrier island that has not been developed at all. This, along with multiple parks, gives you plenty of relaxation. But there is no lack of business being done here as taxes and land are easy to handle. The local ideology is that if you don't tax business to the point where there is not reason to stay, people will have jobs. Smart bunch of apes if you ask us.
