Venice Beach

Venice Beach features a half-mile stretch of fine white sand along the Gulf of Mexico, offering areas for sunbathing, swimming, and beach volleyball with clear warm waters year-round.

Developed in the early 1900s as part of a seaside resort inspired by Italian architecture, Venice Beach has served as a recreational destination for over a century in Sarasota County.

The beach hosts community gatherings, outdoor fitness classes, arts and crafts fairs, and seasonal festivals that celebrate local talent and foster connections among residents and visitors throughout the year.

The beach provides parking facilities, public restrooms, shower areas, lifeguard stations, and limited wheelchair accessibility, making it convenient for families and day visitors with mobility considerations to plan their visit accordingly.

Venice Beach is known as a prime location for finding fossilized shark teeth along the shoreline, attracting collectors and children who search the sand for these ancient treasures from the Gulf.
