Beautiful Venice Florida:

Mediterranean style buildings and homes line the beautiful boulevards. Craft shows, Shark's Teeth Fest and Italian Festivals, Art shows and Town Square concerts, along with land and waterway holiday parades highlight the festive and friendly mood of the people and the area. Nearby libraries, churches, banks and post offices make this an ideal location. Walk the sidewalks of the Town Center, sample the ice cream, candy, wine, and snacks or enjoy a special lunch or dinner. Walk the miles of beaches or stroll out onto the jetty for a spectacular view of the dolphins frolicking at sunset. See the magnificent Manatee glide along the inlet or search the beaches for fossilized sharks teeth. Or, just enjoy the sun and the ever present breeze. Venice is the best kept secret in Florida!
