This is just a great reminder for me to go to Bonita Beach.  Sadly, I take it for granted. I live a mere two miles away and I can't tell you the last time I went to see it, walk on the short, watch the sun go down. I'm putting an alert in my calendar to go or it won't happen.

Bonita Beach has several accesses on Hickory Boulevard which offer free parking.  Just look for the "flag" hanging near the parking area.  After 5:00 p.m.  the Barefoot Beach Preserve doesn't charge entry fees. It's a state park with full facilities.

Love the quote and love the beach.....bad knees make it difficult for me to walk in the sand, so the next best thing was moving to an apartment with a spectacular view of the lake.

Chris, isn't that the truth that we just take things for granted when we live near an attraction?  Hopefully you can make some time and get out there to Bonita Beach!

Chris: It does seem the busier we get the less time we have to stop and enjoy the beauty around us. I hope you find some regular time(s) to put a walk on the beach back on your must-do list.

I think that's understandable Chris.  My father in law and his wife moved to Hollywood, Florida about 6 years ago.  The first two years they lived on the beach in a condo, and after a year or so, really didn't go to the beach anymore.  I think that's normal!

Chris - I know what you mean: I live within a mile, and yet, it can be SO tough to actually GET to the beach!

So true Chris!  I lived right across the street from the sand and walked in it every day!  Now I am a mile from the beach and it is a bother to get into the car, find a parking space and fit that walk into the equation.  Amanda and Jared Christiansen, YOUR Fort Wayne Realtors when you next visit your parents, let us know and we will have a AR meetup!  on the beach

Chris, I try to get to the beach at least once/week for a sunrise or sunset.  After living so far away from the sea for so long, I try to remind myself to not take it for granted.  And that Jimi Hendrix song is one of my all time favorites-  GREAT tune.

Hi Chris, I know what you mean.  When you live and work on an island that has a beach you sometimes take it for granted.  I know I do.

Awesome picture. Island living sounds like a great way to live. Hopefully one day soon I can give it a try.

Chris,

 We take things that are close to us for granted we must remember to get up and take time to smell the roses!
