world over for its white, velvety soft quartz
sand. In the south end of the Barrier Island
chain, which is strung along this beachy
region, is a not-to-be-missed beach spot
Casey Key North Jetty Park. Venice Area
Beaches are treasure troves of prehistoric,
fossilized sharks’ teeth and shells. If you

Anna Maria, North Lido Beach and Blind
Pass Beach.
