Consistently ranked among the top beaches in the United States, Barefoot Beach is one of Southwest Florida’s most prestigious master-gated coastal communities. Occupying 460 tropical acres at the southern tip of Little Hickory Island on the Collier County border, Barefoot Beach offers a rare combination of direct Gulf-of-Mexico frontage and deep-water bay access with no bridge restrictions to open water.
Bordered by the Gulf to the west, Little Hickory Bay to the east, and the 342-acre Barefoot Beach Preserve to the south, this private sanctuary features six distinct sub-neighborhoods ranging from multi-million dollar beachfront estates and bayfront boating residences to luxury attached villas and mid-rise condominiums.
Navigating luxury coastal real estate requires specialized due diligence. Having lived in Southwest Florida for 25 years and offering a practical background in the construction industry, REALTOR® Billy Gubelman helps buyers evaluate seawall integrity, hurricane-impact engineering, roof lifespans, and elevation standards so you can invest in coastal luxury with total peace of mind.
