This was a great spot to check out the beach and the water. Sharky's at the peer also looked like a cool place to eat and drink!

The Pier is directly in front of the Sharky Restaurant and extends out over the nice beach quite far into the Gulf. There is lots of fishing going on and particularly busy at the end of the pier. Nice view along the beaches on both sides and on to the open water.

a great place to watch the locals haul in fish. they are friendly people, and will point out whatever interesting is floating around the pier.

Great place to go. A mixture of all kinds of people on the pier, Lots of Fishers. Sharkey's is at the end for food and/or drink if you desire it and can afford it. A nice place!!

Loved this place, the parking was free! also the beach was very clean and nice... A good and refreshing swimming in the gulf of Mexico!

Great fun. It is a fishing pier, so be prepared. You can rent gear and buy bait if you didn't bring your own. Sharky's restaurant is at the beach end of the pier, too. So if you fish nights, you may be able to hear a live show. So it's good even if the fish aren't biting.

'Twas a beautiful Sunday mid-morning. Who's going to win the battle for the fresh caught fish? Man or pelican?.

sharky's is wonderful. the pier is clean and well kept. great way to get the best view in town. it's a must see in venice

Just a week ago we were looking down and saw 5 rays sweeping the edge of the beach just under the pier and a little n. The beach goers were totally unaware. Have seen dolphins swimming under the pier, plenty of pelicans, and gorgeous sunsets.
