Barefoot Beach

Barefoot Beach is one of Southwest Florida’s most distinctive waterfront communities, offering an intimate coastal setting surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico, Little Hickory Bay, and the natural beauty of Barefoot Beach Preserve. Located at the southern end of Little Hickory Island, the gated community features a mix of custom single-family residences, beachfront villas, and condominiums, with properties ranging from direct Gulf-front homes to bayfront residences with private docks and convenient boating access. The lifestyle is centered almost entirely around the water. Gulf-front residences enjoy immediate access to the beach and expansive sunset views, while many homes along the bay provide private docks and direct access toward the Gulf. The combination makes Barefoot Beach particularly appealing to buyers who want both a true beach lifestyle and the ability to keep a boat at or near their residence—something relatively difficult to find within a single luxury neighborhood in the Naples area.

Barefoot Beach maintains a relaxed residential character despite its prestigious setting. Residents have access to community amenities, while optional membership opportunities at The Club at Barefoot Beach provide additional dining, tennis, social programming, and beach-oriented services. Immediately south of the residential community, Barefoot Beach Preserve adds hundreds of acres of protected coastal habitat and helps preserve the natural character that distinguishes this stretch of shoreline. Although technically positioned in Bonita Springs, Barefoot Beach sits along the Collier County coastline and provides convenient access south toward North Naples, Mercato, Waterside Shops, and Naples' broader dining and shopping destinations. For buyers prioritizing Gulf access, boating, privacy, and a more residential beach environment, Barefoot Beach represents one of the area's most compelling alternatives to traditional Naples beachfront neighborhoods.
