The city of Venice, Florida, is situated in the southwestern region of the Sunshine State; it offers vacationers a small-town feel, a point emphasized by the area's numerous motel accommodations. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, Venice is known for its pristine beaches, as well as its charming downtown, where buildings were designed in an authentic Mediterranean style. While a popular destination for tourists, this family-friendly locale is a rewarding and affordable alternative destination to enjoy Florida's alluring surf and sand.
