The Bonita Beach Causeway is a series of four low-level bridges located in Southwest Florida connecting Bonita Springs with Fort Myers Beach. It carries Estero Boulevard (County Road 865) and is four miles long from end to end. The Bonita Beach Causeway traverses three natural barrier islands bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and Estero Bay. Each bridge on the Bonita Beach Causeway is named after the body of water it crosses.

Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or causeway:
“When the inhabitants of some sequestered island first descry the “big canoe” of the European rolling through the blue waters towards their shores, they rush down to the beach in crowds, and with open arms stand ready to embrace the strangers. Fatal embrace! They fold to their bosoms the vipers whose sting is destined to poison all their joys; and the instinctive feeling of love within their breasts is soon converted into the bitterest hate.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Unto a life which I call natural I would gladly follow even a will-o’-the-wisp through bogs and sloughs unimaginable, but no moon nor firefly has shown me the causeway to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
