15 Best Things to Do in Venice (FL
"The Venetian Waterway Park is a fantastic place to explore the city’s beautiful canals and waterways. The park follows the waterways – in particular, the major Intracoastal Waterway, which separates the coast from the mainland. There are several miles of walking paths leading from downtown Venice, following a gentle route along the water that eventually leads all the way to Caspersen Beach to the south of the city."

"It’s only an acre, but it has the benefit of being within close proximity of Siesta Village in an overall quieter area. The park has a fun little playing and picnicking area, but it’s the combination of the sensational sandy beach line that puts it at the top. Playgrounds are free and a perfect way to spend some time on sunny Siesta Key for families."

This Siesta Key playground is quieter than places like Siesta Beach Park, but still close to the Village. Only an acre big, the small park is wedged at the juncture of Midnight Pass Road and Higel Avenue on the island’s north end."
