Big Hickory Island holds the community of Bonita Beach, an erstwhile fishing village turned swank. At the island's southernmost end, beach-lovers come to play.
The closest beach to Interstate 75, it attracts a lively crowd of active beach-goers with all sorts of water sports rentals and beach volleyball.
Although many come to party at Bonita Beach Park, it is also family friendly with a playground, picnic shelters with tables and grills, beach rentals and a burger joint that feeds you indoors and outdoors.
Heading north, you will find about ten additional smaller public beach accesses, with free but limited parking, lining Hickory Boulevard.
