Venice
Venice is one of the best-kept secrets in Florida. Warm, friendly, and right on the Gulf of Mexico, this is a place to come for a week or stay for a lifetime. Known as the “Shark Tooth Capitol of the World,” there are countless beaches to stroll and shark teeth to collect. The warm sunshine and temperatures comfort the large population of retirees who inhabit the region.
Whether you like golfing, peaceful strolls, boating, fishing, or soaking up the sun on the beach you'll find plenty to do here. The Intracoastal Waterway has almost ten miles of waterfront property that's great for running, walking your dog, or basking in the sunset views. Also, the charming downtown is the perfect place for strolling, after a delicious dinner at one of the local restaurants.
