Venice
Named one of the Best Southern Beaches for Finding Shark Teeth, a top-5 suburb for city-like living in 2023 and a USA Today 10Best must-visit beach in the South–all in 2023 alone—this island town’s charming main street, conveniently lined with shops and restaurants, leads straight to the Gulf of Mexico.
Once a fishing and farming community, Venice has blossomed into “The Shark Tooth Capital of the World,” a vacation destination where families play in the surf, hunt for prehistoric shark teeth, shop through downtown, bike around the Venetian Waterway Trail and set lines to "catch the big one" at the Venice Pier.
