Bonito Parking is a public gravel-and-sand parking area serving the Bonito Street beach access in Corolla’s Whalehead community. From the lot, visitors follow the designated pedestrian route to the Bonito beach walkover and continue across the dunes to the Atlantic Ocean.
The parking area provides a convenient option for visitors who are not staying within walking distance of the beach. It is primarily a parking facility rather than a full-service beach complex, so there is no bathhouse, public restroom or shower facility listed at the lot.
Seasonal lifeguard service is typically available at the associated Bonito beach location during the summer season. Bonito Parking provides access to the beach on foot only and does not include a public vehicle drive-over ramp.
