Venice, Florida: The Best Place for a Staycation

Residents of Venice, Florida know that they rarely have to leave town to experience something new. 

So while many are taking long road trips or traveling through airports to take advantage of the scenic white sand beaches of this coastal city, Venice residents need only step outside their front door to begin their staycation.

Whether you’re taking the whole family, a romantic partner, or just looking to get away by yourself, we’ve come up with four ideas for Venice residents to plan their next exotic vacation just blocks away from home. 

Rent a Hotel Room

There’s no better way to spend a few days getting to know a different neighborhood in Venice than by renting out a hotel room playing tourist.

And with so many different things to do, you never know what treasures you’ll find hidden away in a corner of the town that otherwise may have gone unexplored.

Head to the Beach

No Venice getaway is complete without a trip to Venice Beach or one of the more than a dozen other beach accesses.  Each one has its own unique flavor.  Be sure to round your vacation out with a visit to the water to tan on the warm sand, swim in the clear blue water of the Gulf of Mexico and maybe even catch a glimpse of some classic Venice sea life, such as sea turtles and dolphins.

Before you go, be sure to check out if there’s live music playing at the Venice Beach Pavilion so you don’t miss a great performance against the intimate backdrop of the beautiful Florida skyline.

Charter a Boat

Take your Venice experience to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and enjoy Venice from a chartered boat from one of the many marinas and boat rental businesses.  A day on the Gulf of Mexico is an unforgettable experience allowing the opportunity to cruise, fish, swim and much more.  Make unforgettable memories as you experience the Florida sunset topside from the deck, or under the waves as you scuba dive hunting for fossil sharks teeth millions of years old.

Downtown Sightseeing

Enjoy the ambiance of Downtown Venice from an outsiders perspective as you stroll through these clean, serene streets in a quaint walkable downtown.  Enjoy shopping and indoor or outdoor dining in over 100 local shops and restaurants unique to Venice.

And when you finally need a break from shopping and exploring everything downtown Venice has to offer, relax with a show at one of Florida’s largest community theatres, the centrally located Venice Theatre.

Staycations are a great way to go a little easier on the vacation budget while exploring your town in a way you may not have before.

And with so much to explore in Venice, residents have the luxury of living in a town full of ways to spend relaxing time without any airport hassle.
