Venice, Coastal city in Sarasota County, Florida.
Located along the Gulf Coast of Florida, Venice stretches across several miles of shoreline and contains numerous canals connecting neighborhoods to the waterfront.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers established Venice in 1925 as a planned community, designing its streets and buildings with Mediterranean Revival architecture.
The Venice Theatre produces over 30 theatrical performances each season, making it one of the largest community theaters in the United States.
Visitors can access Venice Municipal Beach from multiple entry points along Harbor Drive, with free parking available at the public access areas.
Venice Beach contains large deposits of prehistoric fossilized shark teeth, which wash up daily along its shoreline from ancient underwater beds.
