Caspersen Beach - What Florida Beaches Were Like Decades Ago!This allows you to feel as if you’re standing on the end of the Earth, looking out over one of the most beautiful Gulf of Mexico beaches in Florida and into timelessness...
How long is Caspersen Beach? Well, if you like to walk or hike and you want to take a really long walk, this is the place to do it -- you can walk south all the way to Manasota Key -- about 4 miles. It will probably be a quiet walk as you'll leave the other beach goers behind on your trek. You'll most likely only come upon shorebirds, sea shells and sharks teeth on the beach. I would venture a guess that not many people take this long walk, which could be all the better for you if you like to walk and feel as if you're the last man or woman on earth! This is definitely one stretch of deserted beach where you can be alone. Do go on your walk on this long stretch of beach well prepared, however. Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen, a hat for shading your head, water and perhaps food, too, along with a towel and (depending on time of year) cool, light weight clothing to use as a cover-up in case the sun gets too hot and you start to burn.
Venice is also home to the annual Sharks Tooth Festival, usually held on the grounds of Venice Municipal Airport.
There's also a fairly good sized park here which you’ll find loaded with amenities just east of the main parking lot, across Caspersen Beach Bridge. There are amenities that include restrooms along with a picnic area and fishing pier...
..there are a couple of pavilions..
Tip: Bring moist/disinfectant towelettes; The bathrooms are the portable kind. Tip: No matter what time of year you visit the sun coast and Caspersen Beach you'll want to protect your eyes in case the rays get mean. Here's my favorite place to buy protective, yet stylish sunglasses.
Tip: Bring a cooler, a beach towel, umbrella and suntan lotion. Keep your cool on the sands of Caspersen Beach in the hottest swimsuit and the coolest beachwear. Find everything for your fun in the sun vacation right here.
