Local Attractions
You may not feel the need to ever leave the Beachcomber in Venice with its private beach access, inviting Gulf waters and spectacular sunsets, but should you wish to venture out, there is plenty to see and do. Downtown historic Venice is located just one mile from the Beachcomber and is full of eclectic shops, five-star restaurants, and much more. Venice is home to parks, hiking and biking trails, golf courses, and fishing and boating opportunities. Just about anything you want to do is only a short walk, bike or drive away.
