Venice is a small seaside town with more canals than the
city it is named for, and is located 18 miles south of Sarasota.Venice is famed
for it's wonderful fossil gathering at the beach, especially for the abundant
shark's teeth that line the shores; 50 million year-old specimens have been
discovered along the coastline and the city holds a yearly festival
commemorating the ancient shark burial grounds located nearby.In addition to
beach combing, scuba diving is a very popular attraction in Venice Island Real
Estate, allowing people to excavate fossils beneath the water or to explore the
reef that is only a quarter mile off of the shore.
Venice's historic downtown is a charming shopping district,
clustered with a mix of new stores and antiques, adjacent to one of the last
full-length piers on the west coast of Florida and the old southern scenery of
the Myakka River. There are
extraordinary camping opportunities along the Myakka River amongst old-growth
oak tree hammocks, unlike anywhere else in the world. Close by, Venetian Waterway Park, an ongoing
community project, winds adventurers through lush greenery and broad pathways,
making this a model park ideal for strollers, joggers, skaters, and cyclists.
Elegant with Italian architecture and lush landscaped boulevards, the city is
very committed to preserving it's heritage, and is protected by laws that limit
building size and number.
Venice Florida Real Estate is diversified from small family
homes and condo starting at about $100,000; with beachfront condos and homes at
almost a $1,000,000 with many other affordable homes in between.
