Venice abounds in natural beauty and splendour. Venice offers something for everyone including beautiful beaches, its quaint downtown shopping area and the old Florida scenery along the Myakka River.

Caspersen Beach, the longest beach in Sarasota County, is located south of Venice Airport on Harbor Drive. It has been left in its natural state, uncultivated, windswept, and secluded. This is an exceptionally good area to look for and find pre-historic sharks teeth as well as enjoyable shelling. It is also site of the annual Sharks Tooth and Seafood Festival.

The wonderful climate, tropical beaches and beautiful bay are only some of the reasons Englewood has become known as the "Gem of the Suncoast."

Englewood is just 85 miles south of Tampa and 50 miles north of Fort Myers
