Thanks for update. We were there last week and heard pay parking was going to start. Docs looks like it will open soon. Wonder how far on to the beach home owners can landscape.
I cannot say what November will be like. I'll tell you right now, in October, you can park in the lot right before the entrance to Barefoot Beach for free, as well as Bonita Beach Park's lot, and Bonita Beach access #1 and #10. Beach accesses #2-#9 are always free but have limited spots that fill up quick. The other spots I mentioned typically are pay lots but the payment machines were destroyed in the storm. I'm not sure when they will be back up and running.
