Things To Do
Venice Beach Pier @ Sharky’s
This is the spot for peak beach vibes & incredible sunsets. Grab a drink, walk the pier, maybe spot a dolphin. You can also fish right off the pier (no license needed), which sits right in front of Sharky’s. Classic Venice.
Caspersen Beach
Venice is the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, and Caspersen is where you’ll find them (though we've gotten pretty lucky at the pier too!). Rent a scoop at Sharky's gift shop and see what you dig up.
South Jetty Beach
Grab some ice cream downtown and head down to the Jetty for an amazing sunset view. Watch boats come in, see pelicans up close, and soak in the Gulf breeze.
Historic Downtown Venice, FL
Boutiques, galleries, cafés, and ice cream shops. Perfect for a wander.
Sharky's On the Pier
Jimmy Buffet vibes: fish tacos, frozen drinks, live music. Pure Florida energy.
Fins At Sharky's
Sharky’s fancier next-door neighbor. Same sunset view, nicer cocktails, slightly more polished.
Crow's Nest Restaurant, Tavern & Marina
Seafood, marina views, laid-back Old Florida feel.
Cafe Venice Restaurant and Bar
Cozy bistro with a good wine list, right in the heart of downtown.
Legacy Trail
Our favorite bike path. Rent bikes in town and cruise north toward Sarasota. Flat (mostly), scenic, and a great way to work off all the wedding weekend food and drinks.
Jetty Rentals: Kayaks, Paddleboards, Surfboards etc.
If you want to get out on the water, paddleboards and kayaks are easy to rent. Paddle, float, sweat a little… then reward yourself with a frozen drink.
