The Town of Venice
Welcome to Venice
Venice is a cozy, seaside town that has taken great strides to preserve its architectural heritage. Once you've shopped downtown for something new, discover older treasures in the antique district, walk along Venetian Waterway Park, or wet a line from one of the last full-length piers on Florida's west coast.
Venice beaches are scoured by world travelers "stooping and scooping" with "Florida snow shovels" for shiny black fossilized teeth of prehistoric sharks. The best spot for specimens is Caspersen Beach, a naturalist's dream of an unspoiled, windswept beach where a nature trail leads through saltwater marshes and tidal flats.
Venice is a MainStreet city. Residents and visitors enjoy spending time on the beach, shopping, dining and soaking in the Old Florida feel that still exists throughout much of Venice.
