Venice Beach Pavilion
A quiet landmark on the Gulf. From Downtown, just head west on Venice Avenue till you reach the Gulf and park at our original Beach Pavilion. The Pavilion, with its refreshment stand, is a convenient starting point or stop-off point for beachcombers or just swimming or sunbathing on Venice's pristine beaches. There are lifeguards on duty during posted hours. Our Jetty is to the North, protecting the north entrance to the Inland Waterway and the Venice Fishing Pier is to the South. Remember to ask the consession staff about the local musicians performing Saturday's, Monday, and Tuesday's. Bring your chairs to enjoy the performances!!!

The Venice Fishing Pier 
Extending over 300 feet out into the Gulf, locals & tourists gather here to share old and new fishing stories. From downtown, take Venice Avenue west and turn left on Harbor Drive (at the Post Office). Over a mile south, you will see Sharky's where you will park. Take the walkway to the right and head past Sharky's Tiki Bar and you're at the public pier. Don't forget to ask Sharky's staff "When will Bruno be performing here."

The North Jetty Park
See dolphins, manatees, great blue heron, egrets, pelicans, wild parrots, etc.
