In a state full of beautiful beaches and tourist attractions, Venice holds a special place in history as one of Florida’s oldest coastal resort towns. About halfway between Tampa and Fort Myers and 35 minutes south of Sarasota, Venice is a beautiful Gulf Coast community loaded with amenities and cultural attractions for visitors and locals alike.
Naturally, the gulf is a huge draw for fishing, swimming, and sunbathing; the city is full of gorgeous historic buildings, particularly in the walkable downtown district; and the vibrant arts scene incorporates huge community theaters, a symphony orchestra, and the Venice Art Center. All of this combined with the free trolley service, excellent public schools, and low crime rate make Venice a highly desirable place to call home.
