 Venice & Englewood-Cape Haze
(The South Jetty) lies across the pass in Venice, shark tooth capital of the world (so called for the fossilized, prehistoric sharks' teeth that wash upon the shores of Venice and Caspersen Beaches). The fossils roll up on the sand around the fishing pier, and the annual Sharks' Tooth Seafood Festival in April celebrates this phenomenon and the town's bounty of fish. Year-round golf is a pleasure
for both visitors and residents. You will find four beautiful Gulf beaches to choose from along with two State Parks and miles of fishing along Lemon Bay and the Charlotte Harbor Estuary. Historic downtown Venice has unparalleled charm. It has unique and independently owned shops, galleries and boutiques. Palm tree lined avenues host an endless array of exciting things to do and see. Located at the Crow's Nest Marina on Venice Island, you'll find Sail Venice, a delightful sailing experience right on the Gulf of Mexico. CoolToday Park is an amazing place to visit if you love baseball and the Atlanta Braves. It is the Spring Training home of the Braves, and it also hosts other baseball events and special activities throughout the year. You can enjoy the game from the comfortable seats or the grassy berm. CoolToday Park is located in Venice, Florida, and it has free parking and accessible services for all guests. Don't miss this opportunity to see your favorite team in action at CoolToday Park!
