We dare you to drive through Main Street Venice (West Venice Ave.) and NOT want to stop! You immediately sense that warm, hometown "feel" that you've been searching for. The palm tree lined streets lead you to fun shops, good food, and happy people.
Venice is a place where culture and the arts are appreciated and encouraged, as evidenced by the many art festivals, galleries, the Venice Art Center, and the Venice Little Theater. Fishing, tennis, golf, biking, and the calming beauty of nature help complete the picture of your corner of the planet.
Venice's rich history adds to its allure. Archaeological sites attest to the prehistoric settlements of 10,000 years ago. During more recent centuries, the Calusa Indians flourished in this area, taking advantage of the sea's bounty. Remnants of a hand dug system of canals demonstrates their resourcefulness.  Spanish settlement began in the 1500's and, as the centuries passed, the extension of the railroad and the building of the Tamiami Trail opened the beauty of Venice to the world! In 1967 the Intracoastal Waterway was completed, creating the Island of Venice.
Venice is located just south of Sarasota and north of Fort Myers. The "Shark's Tooth Capital of the World" boasts many miles of beautiful beaches on the Gulf of Mexico where you can find fossilized shark's teeth just by strolling the beach. In addition to Caspersen Beach, Venice Beach, North Jetty Beach, and Nakomis Beach, there's a beach just for your four -footed friends. They'll love the Brohard Paw Park and Beach where your pups can run in the surf and sand.
