A Local secret beach. Consistently ranked among the best beaches in Florida, Caspersen stretches south more than a mile-and-a-half beyond the end of Harbor Drive. Although there’s plenty of free parking on hard-pack sand, you may struggle to find a convenient spot on weekends, so get there early. Another way to get here is by bicycle along the Venetian Waterway Park’s multi-use trail. The setting for this beach is the 177-acre Caspersen Park, a natural habitat of coastal hammocks that extends to Manasota Key, about four miles south. While most beachgoers cluster near the parking area and rest rooms, more adventurous souls do the southward trek and find the beach quite isolated, allowing full enjoyment of the soothing rhythm of Gulf breezes and gently lapping waves. A kayak launch is located away from the beach, on the east side of the park, providing access to Lemon Bay and the Intercoastal Waterway.

This beach is a throwback, like small-town beaches used to be throughout Florida. It is surrounded by mom-and-pop motels and cottages with charm and character. The beach is accessed from a boardwalk that parallels the dunes with pathways to the beach and shaded picnic areas. At the main entrance, there are rest rooms with showers, and across the street, you’ll find a few local businesses that cater to the beach trade. The 22-acre beach park extends across Casey Key Road to the Intracoastal Waterway, where you can launch a boat. Every Saturday, near dusk, visitors can enjoy a drum circle, a somewhat primitive musical event that is gathering steam at many beaches around the state. Location: Off U.S. 41, at the end of Albee Road and its intersection with Casey Key Road.

The center of attraction at Brohard Beach is the 700-foot Venice Fishing Pier, anchored by Sharky’s on the Pier, the only beachfront restaurant and tiki bar in Venice. Pier access is free, and you do not need a fishing license to fish. Get your gear and your bait at Papa’s Bait Shop on the pier. The beach is big, broad and beautiful here, and it shares Casperson’s reputation as a great hunting ground for shark’s teeth. There are several beach access points off Harbor Drive and plenty of free parking, especially near the pier. But if it’s solitude you seek, try the access from Service Club Park or Chauncy Howard Park, north of the pier. Location: 1600 South Harbor Drive, before the entrance to the municipal golf course.

This beach at the inlet is popular with families because of the variety of activities available to beachgoers. It’s not actually in Venice, it’s in Nokomis on Casey Key. On the other hand, it’s closer to downtown Venice than either Brohard or Casperson beaches, so it’s very popular with Venetians. Parking is free and plentiful. There are food concessions, a bait shop, a playground, volleyball courts, picnic tables rest rooms and showers. On the inland side of the park is a hard-packed launch area for small boats, kayaks and canoes with access to a convergence of bays and creeks that flow into the inlet and out to the Gulf. Children will love the dolphins that are frequent visitors to the inlet and waterways, and the whole family can fish from the jetty and shoreline. I’ve talked to a few local families from the Venice area, and they all applaud this park for its family entertainment value. They bring their kids here all the time. Location: Cross Dona Bay on U.S. 41 from downtown Venice and turn left at Albee Road. Go straight to the beach and turn left again on Casey Key Road. Go all the way to the end.
