This is a great beach to visit! There is a lot of natural habitat around here! You can see many bird species and so many other creatures!

Excellent beach. Family friendly. Easy parking. Normally$8 to park. Thanksgiving day is free.

Love this beach! We had an $8 entrance fee. There are three parking areas, with a quick walk to the beach. We also liked that you are surrounded by nature (instead of buildings).

A nice drive down a red brick road for about a mile and a half and then $8 to park you get this beautiful well kept Beach full of wildlife. There are beautiful boardwalks and visitor center. Next its off to lovers key State Park.

Beautifully tucked in beach. Good parking access. Fee to park, unlimited time. Very shelly so be sure to have beach shoes. Warm water, white sand and sun. A slice of paradise.

Love this beach. One of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Florida. We traveled 2 hours from Miami just to see this place. Definitely place to visit and you can collect different shells :)

This beach is great, quiet but maybe too quiet there were some nude visitors and we had kids(not so good) the place is beautiful and waves whatsoever. Beautiful views, great for long walks.

Beautiful open beach area, clean, peaceful and preserved to its natural beauty. Totally worth the drive and the parking fee which isnt too bad either. Little bit of a walk if you have kids so bring your wagon but my 3 and 4 yr olds walk by themselves now with no worries

Amazing beach! On our family vacation we spent 2 days on this beach. We loved how quiet it was and all the sea shells. The ground is a little rough in spots to get into the water but that is because of all the shells. Besides that the sand is very white, cool, and soft. Next time we go to Southwest Florida we will be back there.

Calm waters, nice environment. However, dont let the name Barefoot deceive you. You need sandals or something to walk on this beach. A lot of broken shells.

Great family trip to the beach. We love any beach that has a shower for us to rinse our kids off. It makes the ride home better for everyone! The kids enjoyed the gopher tortoises and seeing the roped off sea turtle areas. Water quality was amazing. Might as well enjoy it before they start dumping the Lake O water.

Beautiful, serene, excellent beach/Preserve!! There is an $8 entry fee per car which is a much better deal than $5 an hour for parking at other nearby beaches. Sand is white and powdery. The area is not crowded in early morning and gets busy around 10:30/11 a.m. I am an avid sheller and the beach yields beautiful bounty for those who like to walk a mile or more to seek treasures!

I really enjoyed the beach. Quiet and clean. Fun to watch the pelicans but sadly did not see any tortoises or turtles

The houses that you drive past to get to Barefoot Beach are amazing. The beach is beautiful. White sand, calm water and millions of seashells make this beach absolutely perfect. This beach is a definite favorite of mine.

Water so clear! Nothing but fun in the sun. Short walking distance from huge parking area. Soft sand and lots of Sand Dollars!Beautiful place!

Great beach for shelling, it’s completely covered in sea shells. Perfect sunset spot if you show up after 6 you don’t have to pay for parking

White sand, pristine water and the wonderful Florida weather. Will be back soon.

The sand goes all the way out in the ocean. Very smooth with no rocks. A great place to swim. Barefoot Beach describes it well.

$8 bucks to park there?! Fn FLBEACH was nice, but no shade.

The last few miles of the drive to get to this park are through a very wealthy neighborhood with a very low speed limit and many speed bumps.There is an $8 entry fee which seems high if you are only going there for an hour of sunset watching but the beach is beautiful and the restroom and bathhouse facilities are very good and remain open to clean up after the sun has set.Most people bring beach chairs. There is no concessions stand, at least not around sunset where we were.

Go through a neighborhood of really expensive houses to a pristine hidden gem of a beach. Its quiet and feels like a private beach. There isnt much as far as concessions go - just a soda and water vending machine - so its advisable to bring drinks and such with you. Otherwise, enjoy a beautiful beach!

Clean. Brathrooms & showers. Easy parking. Kid friendly. SHELLS!!! LOTS OF SHELLS!!!

Beautiful beach for shells. Not great for being barefoot, despite its name. 100ft out and still waist deep. Clear water.

Beautiful flat beach.. good parking close to the actual beach too..

Pristine preserve managed by Collier county FL. Great for kayaking or long walks on the beach. Large buildings surrounding the preserve are an eye sore and a source of pollution, despite that lots of birds, fish and other wildlife. Enjoy the sound and beach sides in a single place. Bring back your trash if you can, and keep this enchanting place beautiful.

Definitely was not as secluded as advertised. The beach was packed but the nature trails are cool. In my opinion not worth the 8 bucks.

This area was really well kept and the beach was very clean, we came in the off season so it was pretty empty which I really liked. There was a small fee to enter but it really wasnt too bad. We also saw a bunch of turtles and there is a lot to do in the area after your done with the beach

Went to this preserve so I love wild life. My meanly interest was to walk the trail. Saylor Trail 1 1/2 miles. My surprise, at the trailhead, the corner with the city trash big container full and bunch of shopping bags around everywhere, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and all kind of beach and garbage...Smelling very bad, also coming from the restroom. Very disappointment , meanly for the travelers or tourist that have to pay $8.00 to go in the park....Free for Collier resident with the updated sticker....The first part of the trail was easy, nice walk throwout a shady, natural sandy path, beach side with many access to the beach. found some wild flowers, the tortoise a couple of time, .....On the way back , the other part of the trail, all nice same around , except the gravel path , the make really hard the walk for any kind of shoes.....The Sea Oat well conserved, and beautiful sun set ....The park close at sunset....

Gorgeous beach with plenty of parking! Beautiful granular sand at areas #1 and #2 and excellent shells at area #3. Parking is $8 to visitors. Residential Beach passes accepted from Naples and Collier County.

What to say about tur Barefoot Beach County Reserve?Great beach, parking, preservation area, and relaxing environment!Take your time to check out some animals. Its worth it and enjoy the awesome beach!

Great relaxing place. Easy access. Not crowded. Nice for shelling.

Beautiful beach. Great weather.

Its set back off of a main road in a lovely Community the beaches are pristine and quiet uninterrupted nature abounds the turtle Crossings are adorable

Best beach on the west coast of Florida. I feel like I shouldnt even write this review and keep it a secret.Parking is flat rate. The beach is a super short walk. Lots of shells, you might see turtles. The bathroom shower layout / distance to the car is the best of all beaches.

Great to see all of the tortoises! Clean beach with easy parking. Small food vendor on beach. Easy boardwalks. Great family beach.

Excellent quiet beach with paid entrance to Preserve.

Its a beautiful public park, hidden away, most people dont know where it located, a true treasure on earth!

Barefoot Beach is probably my favorite beach and we have walked them all many times here in SW Florida. Lots of great shelling and to the south is Wiggins Pass with lots of views and boats of all sizes . There is a mile long nature trail but the nice beach is the real draw. Concessions for beach and water play items. Restrooms and some food items. Lots of parking but it does get full in high season especially around the holidays.Interesting drive through a mile or two of luxury homes and condos to get to the parking entrance. You will like this beach. We were there on August 19 and a conservationist was doing checks of the turtle nests 3 days after the main hatching looking for baby turtles stuck in the nest and counting shells to see how many were hatched. Very Interesting.

We joined friends for a sunset viewing and a small picnic on the beach. The key with Barefoot Beach is if you dont want to pay the $8 or dont have a Collier beach pass, you can go there after 5pm and not pay to get in.The beach where we were didnt seem to have a whole lot else there except a snack bar and some restrooms. However, there may be play areas and other things that we just didnt see on this visit.Its a wide Beach so it holds a lot of folks and its a perfect place for a sunset.

Good beach. Lots of shells but enough sand so as not to shred your feet. The drive in is beautiful. 8$ parking/entrance fee

We love to come kayak and paddle board here!

This is a Very nice beach. We went on a saturday and Im excited to say it was not very crowded at all. Everything was very clean and we were very pleasantly surprised to see a large variety of different kinds of sea shells. The drive in was also a nice sight because the last couple miles there are through a very nice community and the houses there were incredible. It was a great day!

Daily fee for beach access nice toilets educational programs sheltered picnic area. Easy shell collecting. Beautiful beach with boardwalk access.

Best beach I have been to in SW Florida. Clear water, soft sand, not crowded, gentle waves. Saw manatees while swimming and gopher tortoises on beach. Not a party beach. Lots of parking, one little portapotty.

Absolutely beautiful and worth the $8 admission!

Very nice beach. Clean restrooms even! seems to be a popular sunset spot.

Very secluded feeling and the ride through the community to get to it, is breathtaking.

Pristinely kept beach, perfect place to picnic while you watch the sun set. Two nights we saw dolphins, and we saw a wonderful little gopher tortoise on the way in! Enchanting place to spend a day. The water was so warm and calm.

Large parking. Clean bathroom. Nice long beach area.

I love spending quiet time alone here watching the wildlife and relaxing.One of my favorite beaches here in South Florida. I took these pictures as a afternoon storm was rolling in.

People observed social distancing, wonderful place to spend sundays afternoon

Beautiful, well kept, natural landscape beach.

One of the most beautiful beaches on the west coast of Florida. The largest numbers of sea turtle nests and gopher tortoises. A great hidden gem that is nestled in a Collier County Peninsula accessed through Lee county.

Great weather, nice waves and plenty of social distancing. Stay away.

Amazing beach, no traffic getting to beach like most beaches in this area during peak season. Water was beautiful, houses were amazing to look okay on the way to the beach. Also there are tortuous waking freely amongst people this gives a whole new element too going to the beach, really cool.

Absolutely beautiful, loved it here. Beach is clean plenty of parking and walkways with showers.

Very beautiful place, not that many people. Warm waters.

Beautiful beach with white sand and tons of mussels. It is a tremendous place which is not crowded. We enjoyed a full day with our kids in the sun behind the dunes.

Such an amazing beach! If I live in bonita springs I would be a regular here!

We seen Dolphins swimming right at the shore. So close to us it was unbelievable. The seashells there were so different and unusual it was really unique and fun experience. There was really nobody else on the beach but us. It really is one of best beaches ever been too.

Havent been here in a while. Water looked great and birds were everywhere, which is a great sign for the water. Took over 150 pics of wildlife and natural beauty of the preserve

Love this place. Always chill. Gopher turtles, dolphins, diving pelicans, and lots of families. Parking can be tricky on busy days. The sunsets are awesome. Good place to hunt for shells and go for long walks!

Nice spot to enjoy the beach.

Beautiful beach. Not at all crowded and very peaceful.

Pristine beach a great place to just chill. Look up see exotic birds. Look down into the crystal clear water and you will see all kinds oh aquatic life. Needing to rent a boat to get there made it the trip there more enjoyable.

Really enjoy this beach! Have gone a few times and have enjoyed it every time. Wildlife is abundant and the beach is clean and not too chaotic. Its really enjoyable to walk around the boardwalk looking for wildlife.

We love this beach. Its unfortunately packed during season like most of the Collier beaches but its not a s bad as Vanderbilt. Also, the entrance is Lee County but your Collier beach pass works as the park is actually back in Collier County. Go to Flippers for lunch. Its worth the slight drove north.

Always love this beach. The beach front is short but none the less the overall experience is always a memorable one. And if you are lucky youll find a gopher tortoise.

One of my favorite beaches! Always beautifully maintained beach & facilities.

Great Collier county beach. Hiking trails, turtles, and lots of shells.

LOVE LOVE LOVE BAREFOOT BEACH!!SOO PEACEFUL & WATER SOO CLEAR!!

This beach was great! Wonderful for shelling! We didnt have a problem going barefoot.

They need to pick it the trash better and the restrooms needed to be cleaned.

Great place for a walk on the trails and on the beach. Saw many gopher turtles on my hike.

Very clean, the entrance is spectacular with a lot of nice houses, you have to pay $8.00 to park, but its for the whole day

Clean, not crowded, and bathrooms are super close

Very pretty but lots of tiny shells ft myers beach is better when it comes to walking

Beautiful beach, tons of shells, good fishing and gorgeous sunsets.

Our favorite beach to watch the sunset.

Nude beach is nice.....

Out of the main beach areas and a very nice quiet beach! Saw several large turtles as well as several osprey and their large nests

Pretty and quiet. The weather was cool and cloudy. Consequently, we only saw one gopher tortoise. We did see a mom and dad osprey caring for the contents of their nest in the back parking area.

Parking was good, the sand and water were amazing. Wish we could have spent more time

Nice beach, not many people here on a summer Saturday night!

Beautiful beach. Nice 1.5 mile loop trail.

Loved it. Easy walk. Clean beach. Nice people.

Gorgeous beach, definitely worth the visit. There is a small hike you could do to get all the way to the end of the preserve to the beach there and it’s very relaxing hike and the beach is very nice. If you don’t want to do the hike you can just park in the lot and walk straight to the beach it’s probably more pack there then at the end of the preserve. Water is more shallow than other beaches so it’s great for kids and for just walking around and cooling down but not ideal for swimming unless you got a little farther out.

$8 parking if not local. Lots of cool shells and animals.

Cool to see the turtles on the parking. Water is not so nice to snorkel in. Beach is nice.

Beautiful beach! $8 for parking, and we went early each day (pulled up to pay by 8:30 and it opens at 8). I read the beach fills up quickly, but we were fine getting there around then (trip was at the end of April). Its a very calm beach with shells galore. Seriously, wear water shoes or sandals - there are so many shells everyday and after a while, it was painful to step on them. Bring at least a blanket, if not some chairs, to sit on, and Im pretty surr everyone brings an umbrella . Theres also a little snack shack that sets up around 11am. Would not recommend to a more rowdy crowd - its a locals beach, and its well kept by the rangers.

Never gets old.... our little piece of paradise.

Our local beach, love how its 10 minutes down the road. If you like shells, this is the perfect beach for you. They rent equipment. Restrooms, rinse off stations are provided. There is a restaurant if you are hungry, we usually eat before we go to the beach. They have a few pergolas with picnic seatings. Sadly, no playground for little ones. But just playing at the beach is fun. Fun drive alongside the beach, beautiful homes/mansions. Dont go on a weekend, you wont find parking! If you are hungry, drive across the street to coconut Jacks! The food is great, beachy vibe. And there is a gator that swims between the two docks. Sit outside!

3 years in a row coming to the area. We love this place. Long walks and lots of shells for kids to find! Great place for sunset watch.

Must go and see the Beauty! Walk the path to the end you wont regret it!!!

Good beach. Bring umbrella

Great Beach!! Clean Beach!! And a very nice Women at the learning Center Today(Easter)

Good place for a short walk. If its earlier or later in the day the trail is partially shade.

This place is amazing. The beach is the most beautiful place. You see lots of tortoises on the street inside the park.

Beautiful beach with warm water.

Beautiful like always
