An old photo of the Liles Hotel cottages, which were built during the 1940s, a time when winter tourists first started coming to Bonita Springs. They were dubbed 'tin-can' tourists by locals because most of their camping goods were stored in metal coffee cans that often made clanging noises when they unpacked for the winter.
