Shelling and sifting through the sand for shark's teeth are popular ways to pass the hours on Venice's beautiful beaches. But visitors seeking faster paced adventures, will find plenty of opportunities for golf, tennis, fishing, watersports, and more outdoor fun. Aspiring tennis stars appreciate the City of Venice 's six public tennis courts, all well lit for evening play. Championship golf courses abound in the Venice area, as do prime offshore and back country fishing spots. Five miles north of Venice, Oscar Scherer State Park is ripe for canoeing, swimming, hiking, and biking. Nature trails and a bike path wind through pine and scrub flat woods, and around a small tidal creek and lake.
