Waterfront Estates for Sale in Pelican Landing, Bonita Springs, Florida

Pelican Landing’s most significant competitive advantage over comparable Bonita Springs and south Lee County communities is a 34-acre private island on the Gulf of Mexico, accessed exclusively by resident water shuttle from the community marina. The island’s beach is on Little Hickory Island, separated from the mainland by Estero Bay — meaning Pelican Landing residents have a Gulf beach experience completely free of public access, road traffic, and the commercial activity surrounding public beach parks. Estates range from $1.5M to $6M+. The community’s broader infrastructure — Estero Bay frontage, the Imperial River, tennis, golf, and marina — makes Pelican Landing one of the most fully equipped master-planned waterfront communities in Southwest Florida. Giant Mansions provides full representation throughout.

Luxury Real Estate in Pelican Landing, Bonita Springs, Florida

Pelican Landing is a master-planned gated community in Bonita Springs, Lee County, occupying a 2,365-acre footprint along the US-41 corridor between Fort Myers and Naples. The community’s western boundary faces Estero Bay — the state aquatic preserve — with an internal marina providing resident access to the bay’s waterways and the community’s private island beach. The Imperial River runs through the property, adding a second waterway orientation with natural river character distinct from the engineered bay frontage.

The Private Island Beach Model

Pelican Landing’s 34-acre private beach park on Little Hickory Island operates on an access model giving it a fundamentally different character from community beach clubs on the mainland. The water shuttle from the marina takes residents across Estero Bay to a Gulf beach accessible only to Pelican Landing homeowners. The island has no road connection, no public access point, and no adjacent commercial development — a genuinely private beach environment that even direct Gulf-front communities cannot always provide, since Florida beaches remain theoretically accessible below the mean high-water line.
