When you think of Venice in Florida, images of white sandy beaches, warm weather all year round, sunbathing and swimming in the blue waters of Florida’s gulf coast come to the mind. This buzzing city of Venice in Sarasota County, Florida, is most famous for its 14 miles (22.5 km) of beaches, most notably, Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach. It is also known as the ‘shark tooth capital of the world’ because of the abundance of fossilized shark teeth that can be found on its beaches. In fact, there is even a Shark’s Tooth Festival held in April every year! Boating, swimming, and fishing are other beachside activities to try out in Venice. Venice is also home to many exceptional golf courses. Plenty of museums, theatre, music, arts & cultural events in the stunning Italian architectural locales of downtown Venice will keep the discerning traveler engaged for hours on end.
