Canal Front Homes in Venice

A bit about Venice

Venice, Florida was named by an early explorer who thought the beautiful, clean canals that snake through the coastal community starkly resembled the canals of the historic city of Venice, Italy. In the 2000 census, Venice, Florida had a population of 17,764 people and that number has continued to increase over the last five years. Venice is one of five communities that are nestled on the southwestern coast of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico. However, it is one of the few cities that does not have a barrier island to the Gulf.

The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico help maintain an exceptional year-round climate that rarely drops below 70 degrees. Gorgeous weather combined with miles of pristine white sand beaches is perfect for all beachgoers. The clear blue water is great for swimming, surfing, fishing, and boating. Because the beaches are sprinkled with prehistoric, fossilized shark teeth, the city has become known as the "Sharks Tooth Capital of the World."

If you are looking at canal front homes in Venice, you probably consider recreation as an important factor in your decision. Besides having instant access to the waterfront where you can swim, boat, and enjoy many water sports, Venice also has many other indoor and outdoor activities. There are nearly a dozen challenging golf courses that are great for all skill levels. For example, the Plantation Golf and Country Club has difficult greens while the Bird Bay Executive Golf Club offers an easier day on the course.
