About The Island of Venice

Island of Venice

Shark’s teeth older than a million years dot the beaches and shell seekers
hit the sand early on a quiet piece of paradise known as Venice Island. Like
her sister city in Europe, Venice Island features lovely Italian
architecture with courtyards, fountains, gardens and balconies. Single
family homes range from Old Florida bungalows and beach houses to sleek
modern masterpieces with stunning waterfront vistas. Head over the bridge to
downtown where one finds a charming mix of businesses, restaurants and
quaint shops along with a thriving theater community. Nature lovers will
enjoy snorkeling along the coral reefs of Venice Municipal Beach, walking
the shoreline and attending the annual Sharks Tooth and Seafood Festival on
nearby Caspersen Beach. Residents of “The Island” enjoy the sense of being
a million miles away yet living in the heart of it all.
