Venice, FL

  Venice, located just south of Sarasota along Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast, offers 14 miles of beaches, from Casey Key to Manasota Key and many activities, including swimming, sunbathing, fishing and boating.

Shelling is also a favorite pastime in Venice, and fossilized shark's teeth can be found in abundance by sifting through the sand.

The Venice area offers excellent courses for golfers. 

Venice also is a Florida Main Street City – its downtown graced by northern Italian architecture and beautifully landscaped boulevards that date to the original city plans of 1925 and reminiscent of the Italian city of Venice whose name it borrowed.
