Rocks in water - nice to see, not to walk
Rocks on shore (wave area) which are just ankle deep in water look beautiful in pictures but are very slippery and sharp-edged. I slipped while capturing sunset pictures, fell on the rocks and ended my day with bruises on my leg.
Sit and watch the sunset from beautiful piers built on the beach.

Collect Shark Teeth Fossils
Venice is nick named 'Shark's Tooth Capital of the World'. Teeth are often the only part of the shark to be fossilized and since some sharks can lose nearly 30000 teeth during their lifetime, you will not go home empty handed.
Shark teeth can vary in color from black to shiny gray depending on the minerals in the soil in which they have been buried. Most of the teeth we found near Venice beach were Black and less than half inch long.

Waterways
doreenellen Says:
The waterways are everywhere around Venice. You can hire accommodation complete with boat and mooring. Or just hire a boat and coast up the waterways and see the beautiful wild life and scenery.
Waterwasy, beaches and sunsets Not forgetting the people.
Walks along the beach

The walk is always more enjoable with a good friend.
My fondest memory of hanging in Florida is Nansea. I miss here when I am away.
