Activities
Such a great state park tucked away right near the beach and other amenities. They have glamping too!
Oscar Scherer State Park
Great pier for a sunset walk or fishing. Sharky's has a laid back atmosphere for a beachfront restaurant.
Sharky's On the Pier
A great hiking area to see old Florida and a great chance you'll see alligators!
Sleeping Turtles Preserve North
My favorite beach in the area. ⛱️ It has something for everyone. There is a playground, a jetty for fishing, and of course a beautiful beach for sunbathing or swimming.
North Jetty Beach
Food
The best scones around. Definitely order the cranberry orange!
Upper Crust Café & Bakery
As a kid, the best after school stop! So nostalgic and still hits the spot as an adult. There's nothing better than a sub and heading to the beach ⛱️
Obee's Subs
Great family friendly sports bar just off the island of Venice.
Bogey's Sports Pub
Playgrounds
At the south end of the Legacy Trail with a great playground and walking trails!
Shamrock Park & Nature Center
Known for great pickleball courts, it also has a wonderful fenced playground that is music themed. The parent/child swing is a huge hit with my kids.
Foxworthy Park
A new playground in the area! So much to do at this fire station themed park. Bathrooms and sunshades are a huge plus! ☀️
