The Venice Centennial Park and Gazebo
The Venice Gazebo in this park, located at the center of Historic Downtown Venice, is a landmark for our community events and the park now has a neat water park where kids love to wade and others just enjoy the water show.

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.

Clyde Butcher Gallery and Studio  941-486-0811

Email us at mail@clydebutcher.com

Unlike other galleries that mainly just sell art, Clyde is world famous and has donated a huge amount of time to educating the public about our Florida natural habitat. The studio is open free to the public for tours and it's pretty impressive to see the developing and processing of such large format photos to say the least.
