But its true transformation is along the trails: Venice is now the first official Trail Town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, thanks to its walkable downtown, prime location on the Legacy and Venetian Waterway Trails, and easy access to paddle routes that span the state. With new investments in bike-friendly amenities, plus events like Sharky’s Ride the Beaches, Venice is redefining what a coastal getaway looks like, where heritage meets handlebars.
