today we're going to drive into the island of venice to give you an idea of what the island
of venice looks like some of the main attractions there so that if you're planning to move to venice
out of the island of venice through east venice avenue and i'm gonna take that all the way east
on 41 and we're heading into venice i'm coming from the northern part we're going to take the
i think the northern part of venice is a really interesting area to consider living in whether
it's on the island or more inland because you're so close to so many different attractions whether
the attractions are in sarasota or on venice with wellen park downtown opening up sometime this year
i really believe that the northern part of venice is a very central location to live in you have all
these options of places to visit and entertainment this video just like the sarasota narrated video
that i did recently is going to be somewhat raw if you haven't seen the sarasota one link to it here
or maybe it's this way either way just look for the link we're taking 41 the business route
this video is going to become a three hour video i don't think you're gonna want to sit through three
hours of video we're on top of the bridge see the venice theater in front of us to the right
from venice avenue this is kind of the main road that takes you through downtown it's really cute
very quaint here lots of shops restaurants and you know what this place has really evolved over the
last i want to say five to six years especially it used to be known as a very sleepy town and i can
attest to it but you actually get to see people now on the streets you know it's quite buzzing
you can see all these cars lined up over here to the right that means people are visiting and also
and just hang out there some of them will picnic there i've even seen weddings on centennial park
this road here which is also taking us through kind of that main stretch in downtown will take
us all the way down to venice beach and so if you're somebody who wants to just vacation here
and maybe you chose venice beach as the place you want to go to the beach at then you're going to be
so close to shops and restaurants in walking distance people on the island are very active
to my right are tennis courts there's lots of pickleball places to choose from in venice as well
this whole area is evolving younger people are moving in also retirees as well because it's
just very quaint if you're looking for a single family home on the island closer to the water
you're looking at a million dollars and over but there are more affordable options here
including condos so we've reached venice beach and now the challenge is going to be finding a
parking space maybe i'll get lucky walking out of the parking area there's a concession stand
volleyball court this is a great beach to come to you have children especially we've got bathrooms
here we'll walk right through the concession stand then we're going to go on to the beach
filming this it's in february it's about 65 degrees so it's cold so you'll see a lot of
people who are on the beach but bundled up this is kind of what life is like in the wintertime
you can still come to the beach but sometimes it may be too cold to get into the water
so we're just leaving venice beach and we're going to make a ride and take that all the way
down south to the different points of interest we're going to stop in but unfortunately,
the weather isn't great today so hopefully, this video will still come out good but as i always say
when i'm doing this and the weather isn't good florida isn't always going to be sunny you know
sometimes you'll have days where it's overcast or lots of rain especially in the summertime so it's
always good to see different kinds of scenarios when it comes to the weather especially right
we're heading through the main entrance to get to the pier
to the right and to the left it's going to be fins and sharkie's
this is up that way this is sharkie's it's great place for drains
we're heading further south on the island we're heading over to brohard park park we should get
that any second hopefully the weather is going to hold I mean i don't mind if it's overcast i just
don't want it to rain because that's going to make filming very difficult here we are
here's the paw park i love this place i have a few dogs so i take them here i have tiny little dogs
so i'm really excited to take you guys to castles and beach and every time i've gone there
it's just never been that crowded and i think it's partially because it's on the southern tip
of the island it's quite a drive but it's a beautiful scenic drive remember coming here
one time last year and it was more in the evening i came here for sunset and a local business called
picnic paradise i believe that's their name they were setting up a picnic for you know four or five
people right by the beach it was just beautiful they're still doing these types of picnics so
if you're watching and you're looking to do something more unique for somebody maybe
a special somebody that you want to have you know private moments with you should consider
calling them now what i love about caspasen beach is that it is much more of a raw beach
it's very rocky it looks much more natural than some of the other beaches the beach isn't deep
at all people typically come here for the rock formation they're also looking for shark teeth the
castles beach is known as the shark tooth capital of the world now it's not to say that there's
a lot of sharks around this area the teeth are very old some of them are millions of years old
these people are looking for shark teeth
so i just made a quick stop at the lake venice golf club just
to show you the practice facility because people are actually practicing right now
pretty soon we're going to be passing the historic downtown area again so the island
of venice is definitely for somebody that wants kind of that small town feel a quaint neighborhood
a neighborhood where you're going to be bumping into your neighbors most likely at restaurants and
shopping areas it really does have kind of that small town feel to it right so it's
not for everybody but if this is the type of lifestyle that you're looking for and you want
to be close to the beach then i really think this is an area you should be checking out and again
prices could vary they could go well into the million dollars the closer to you get to the beach
the closer you get to the historic downtown area the more expensive it's going to get
but there are some opportunities when it comes to fixed uppers small single family homes more
inland on the island could be had for a few hundred thousand dollars you just never know
so it's a good idea to keep a finger on the pulse when it comes to real estate market here
on the island and you can always call me for more information as well we're going to go all
the way north to the tip of the island i'm going to take bay shore drive to get us there we're the
northern tip of bayshore drive and i urge you to take this ride if you're in the neighborhood
because it's just beautiful you're right by the water so you'll get a glimpse of the water
and multi-million dollar homes now we're reaching the jetty and we just passed the restaurant called
crow's nest you're in the area check it out it's great good food and you have the water views
we're on the south jetty right there is the north jetty and that's nokomis
south jetty is in venice it is a really nice area to come to for fishing or sunset watching
on the north jetty beyond the north jetty is nokomis beach there's a drum circle there
there's a lot of beaches you can choose from if you live in venice or sarasota
we're in the very northern tip of the island i don't know if you're gonna
be able to see it but the very far distance is the venice fishing pier when you're here
you can also grab something to eat right there cute little breakfast lunch space
we're now leaving the south jetty and we're going to take bayshore drive all the way over to east
venice avenue and then we're going to take the bridge over to the other side of venice we're
downtown venice and the sun is peeking out which is so exciting and so the weather is
turning for the better so we're heading over the venice avenue bridge and we're gonna go to
the east side of venice the idea is to show you a different part of venice there's so many different
pockets of neighborhoods in venice if you come here explore all different sections of venice
go to welland park and see what it's like on the southern side go further east even
across 75 a lot of newer communities are being built east of 75 resort-style living
so
so we're passing pine brook park on the right and as you can tell
the field here is very different than being on the island this is just an example of how
neighborhoods here are very different even from a visual aspect and it's so important
