Venice, Florida is a lovely beach neighborhood that has not only 14 miles of smooth, white beaches, but also a downtown reminiscent of its namesake, Venice, Italy. The city’s central area, which dates back to 1925, is filled with more than 130 galleries, shops, cafes, boutiques, and restaurants, all of which earn it the designation of a Florida Main Street City.

Like many other Gulf Coast locations, Venice has much to offer in the way of water sports, fishing, and boating. And as an added bonus, this area is famous for its shelling; fossilized shark teeth are easy to find burrowed in the sand here.
