Summer isn’t over yet. Despite the fact you might feel the end of July looming close, there is still the entire month of August to contend with. Which means this may be your last chance to plan something great for the whole family to enjoy. If you don’t want to cross state lines and are looking for a staycation that’ll make you feel like you’re a million miles from it all, then consider this beautiful Florida beach town.

Venice, Florida is a small town along the Gulf Coast known as being one of the best beach towns to visit during the summer.

Not only is the town a stunning scene along the beaches, but off the coast too, there is a coral reef which is known to wash up shark’s teeth from time to time.

Venice offers guests over 14 miles of beaches to enjoy, plus the pier which stretches out into the deep blue ocean.

It’s not solely the spectacular beaches which make Venice the ultimate summer destination, but also the bevy of things to get into while you’re visiting.

For instance, Waterway Park provides multi-use trails for biking, walking, or running along the Intracoastal Waterway.
