Venice Beach FloridaThe Shark's Tooth Capitol of the World!Venice Beach Florida is one of a span of 14 miles of Venice Beaches along the shore and is the furthest north, at the far north end of Venice Island, just south of the Venice Jetty.
Another “Blue Wave Certification” beach, Venice Beach Florida, with its clean sand and sparkling clean water, is another one of our gorgeous Gulf of Mexico Beaches just waiting to be discovered by you. In fact, in 2008 Venice Beach was named one of the five best renourished beaches by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. Finished in 2008, the Venice Beach renourishment was completed at a cost of $16 million over three years. The project extended Venice Beach about 130 feet along more than 3 miles of gulf coast shoreline. Also, five new artificial limestone reefs were created about 500 yards offshore and should provide about seven acres of habitat for sea life.
With a backdrop of Condos rising over the beach, there's lots of room for you to relax and wriggle your toes in its sand. The size of the crowds vary on this beach depending on whether or not it’s high season or low season, but it’s usually less crowded than Siesta Beach any time of year. Don't worry, there’s plenty of room for you to stake out your own piece of the sand!
Venice Beach is also a good beach to watch for bottle nosed dolphins offshore. And, for divers there’s a coral reef dive site located about a quarter mile offshore.
Close to Venice Florida hotels, with unobstructed and awe inspiring views of the Gulf of Mexico together with good amenities including concessions, a pavilion shelter, park benches, picnic tables, restrooms, a volleyball area, life guard stations, free parking...
...and lots of room to spread out and relax, Venice Beach Florida makes for a relaxing day at the beach, close to in-town conveniences. It’s so peaceful you’ll have a difficult time pulling yourself away.
Directions: To find Venice Beach from Sarasota, follow Rt. 41 south into Downtown Historic Venice. Turn right on to Venice Avenue and follow it west and you’ll run right in to Venice Beach’s parking area. Return from Venice Beach Florida to Sarasota Beaches.
