  • This was a very nice beach. I have begun a new obsession with photos of waves , an am pleased with the results from this location. The pier was quiet nice, although the day I went the wind was fierce. The beach and sand are very nice. There is a restaurant along the beach are. Ate there many years ago and it was good. There are a few cute shops before you get to the pier. Looks like folks were enjoying the fishing, even with the wind.
  • Venice Fishing Pier I think is a good pier for walking ..... my opinion as a fisherman I think is very high on the level of the of the sea ...I really enjoyed the beach in the sides instead where the gulf sea looks clean and the seabed has many changes of depth. the vegetation behind the beach is really lovely and the sand is coarse and slightly dark grain. to fish advice to avoid weekends or daytime hours because people’s bathing is constant
