Don't miss the top rated gorgeous sandy beaches of Venice Beach, Caspersen Beach, and Manasota Key Beach that are all located just minutes away. Known as Shark's Tooth Capital of the World, the Gulf waters at Caspersen Beach has converging currents that deposit all sorts of sediments for you to hunt and find. Choose from endless dining destinations or shop to your heart's content in the charming boutiques of downtown Venice. Catch your fish of the day on the Venice Fishing Pier, or venture farther south, explore Don Pedro Island State Park accessible only by boat or ferry, where you can get lost amid the mangrove forests, dunes, and beaches. Be sure to look out for the local fauna, including West Indian manatees, tortoises, bald eagles, and Loggerhead turtles. Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park (the third largest state park in Florida), is a popular spot to bike, walk, and run, as well as Cape Haze Pioneer Trail Park, where an 8-mile trail runs alongside a former railroad corridor.
Other favorite past times are boating and beach combing at Lemon Bay Aquatic Preserve or make your way through a maze of tunnels carved from the mangrove forest with Phoenix Rising Kayak Tours. Here you will find a pelican rookery, dolphin hunting grounds, and if you're lucky- even a Florida Manatee! After a fun-filled day of exploration, take in an unforgettable sunset with the Nokomis Drum Circle to unwind.
Come explore your new reality, where your adventurous spirit meets your need to escape from it all.
