    Clean white sand, tons of shells, clear water, not overcrowded. The 10 Dollar fee is fair for this beautiful beach. Because of "Ian" there are no restrooms. Only Pottys are available., Drove down to Barefoot beach after finishing my convention. This is a beautiful secluded beach. White sands, small waves and green water. Not a lot of beachgoers after 5 pm. The sunset was amazing and worth the drive. The water was not clear on my visit, but I believe it can be with proper wind and tides. There is a kayak launch across the parking area and the canal side looks beautiful with the mangroves and very natural. I did see the famous gopher turtle crossing the path. Pets are not allowed contrary to this google map information., 4.5/5 Months after opening we were excited to see Barefoot Beach due to the reviews. It has a credit card only $10 entry fee. Because of the past hurricane damage, several parking lots are sealed off and the nature preserve boardwalk has been destroyed. The sand is very shelly and you will definitely find some great shells ( but bring appropriate footwear). Unfortunately there was a ton of seaweed in the water so it made swimming a little unpleasant. We did spot two dolphins from the shore and a crossing tortoise! The water was a beautiful color and it wasn't too crowded on a Monday afternoon. Swing by Sweet Melissa's on your way back! The key lime pie on a stick is delicious!, Beautiful beach and extremely clean. The beaches in the area get quite congested so recommend going early to find parking. Sand is soft and white with lots of little shells to collect. Pushing a stroller or cart may be a little challenging, so keep that in mind, Beautiful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle. They have a pretty big parking lot, so we are always able to find a space, as opposed to other beaches like Bonita. They have a rack with life preservers and even a Beach Wheelchair that can be pushed through the sand much easier than a standard model. The path to the ocean is not far at all. I'd say it's less than a 5-minute walk . 5 out of 5, I'd definitely recommend!
