If you’re feeling impatient while waiting for winter to say its final goodbyes and tempted to relocate to a place where you won’t have to worry about ice and snow, you should consider starting fresh in the Sunshine State. Specifically, we recommend looking into real estate in Venice, Florida.

This scenic city situated south of Sarasota offers plenty of options for beach-going, outdoor adventures, dining, shopping, and nightlife. Here are just a few reasons you should consider making a move to Venice, Florida.

1. It’s the place to be if you’re a fan of shark teeth.

If you want to live in a locale with some bite to it, Venice is the shark tooth capital of the world, according to the nonprofit Venice MainStreet Inc. Millions of years ago, sharks swarmed the region, which was underwater at that point. The Venice coast currently sits atop an 18-to-35-foot-deep fossil layer, and beachgoers commonly search the sand for shiny black shark teeth.

2. The city is home to some of the region’s top beaches.

If you like the sound of exploring a reef, swimming in the stunning waters of the Gulf of Mexico, or sunbathing on soft sand, then Venice could be your ideal city. Venice Beach is within walking distance of downtown and a hotspot for fossil hunting and reef diving. It’s not hard to see why it was named one of the top 10 must-visit beaches in the South by USA Today last year.

Other notable beaches in the area include the following, according to VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s official tourism marketing corporation.  

• Nokomis Beach
• North Brohard Park
• Caspersen Beach

To explore more beaches as well as parks in the area, check out a more extensive list at visitvenicefl.org.

3. You’ll have plenty of options for outdoor adventures.

Aside from visiting the beach, there are tons of ways to have fun outside in Venice, including fishing, biking, hiking, and more. Here are a few notable activities to check out.

• Historic walking tours
• Cycling
• Boating and scuba diving  
• The City of Venice Fishing Pier
• Venice parks
• Legacy Trail
• Venetian Waterway Park hiking trails and dog park

4. Venice Island has everything you could possibly need in terms of shopping.

If you love shopping, Venice Island at the north end of the city boasts more than 100 stores offering shoes, clothing, jewelry, art, and more. Stroll the palm-tree-lined streets and browse to your heart’s content.

5. The city is fun for the entire family.

For families with children, downtown Venice has kid-friendly pastimes. Notable attractions for younger residents and visitors include the following, according to VISIT FLORIDA.

• Finding fairy doors
• Spotting shark sculptures
• Cooling off in the Intergenerational Fountain

After catching a 12 foot hammerhead shark, a group of fishermen found that the fish was pregnant. The mother shark was injured according to the fishermen. “As soon as they roll it over, you can see this big hole,” said Andrew Weedman, one of the fishermen.

“It had a big radius bite, a big bite mark taken out of it,” Noe Campos said. Then they noticed baby sharks were inside. “We seen [sic] the tail, pushing out. They were trying to push their heads out, so i’m guessing the mom tried to give birth but she didn’t have the strength to push them out,” said Campos. They pulled them out one by one. “They were wiggling and squirming. They were definitely very alert,” recalled Weedman. There were about 20 of them.
