Venice Island

Gulf beaches on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. The streets follow the city plan John Nolen drew in 1926, with Venice Avenue running from downtown to the beach.

Nokomis & Casey Key

Just north of Venice. Casey Key is a narrow island between the Gulf and the bay, reached by two bridges, and Nokomis Beach is Sarasota County's oldest public beach.
