Venice Beach
★★★★☆
(2,595)
Venice Beach, off the west coast of Florida, is a graveyard of prehistoric remnants of ancient predators, specifically sharks. This area is famous for its black shark teeth fossils and, if you’re lucky, large megalodon tooth fossils. You’ll see beaches full of folks “panning“ for fossils here every weekend.
You’ll see the typical Gulf of Mexico Caribbean fish species like stingrays, snapper, triggerfish, hogfish, and possible sandbar, blacknose, and bonnethead sharks.
