Snorkel on Venice Beach

[MdkSniper]

Is there any good places where you can snorkel on Venice Beach and find shark teeth? I'm going to be down in Florida with my family in two weeks and I'm not going to bring my dive gear down. Thanks in advance

The best place is close to shore right off venice beach or any of the beach hotels near venicebeach...
Have fun and enjoy

!!!! Bring the GEAR !!!! Even if you have to strap it on to get it down here, bring the gear. Its WORTH the effort.

I've been told a good beach dive in that area (actually a few miles south) is off of Boca Grande. Look for 17th street and follow it to the beach. There is actually some coral growth there. (I must admit this is second hand info, but it comes from a reliable source )

Otherwise, as others have mentioned, there are plenty of places off of Venice Beach - and Englewood Beach / Stump Pass area. Lots of teeth can be found walking along the beach as well.

I live here in CLWTR area and have yet gone to StumpPass..Can you share location information and any person kowledge or second hand knowledge of teeth or other fossils??I thought Venice was pretty much the only shore teeth finding spot?

If you don't wish to share the info I understand..many hunters I find, don't like to divulge thier "honey spots"...
Have a great day

Lemon Bay!!! I used to find loads and loads there. Not to mention there is a sand dig that you can get to and there are massive ammounts of fossils!

Thanks maybe we'll try to do that one sometime soon...

I haven't dove Stump pass so I can't give specifics, but I have walked the beach many times. There are plenty of teeth along the beach

Well I thank you for your shared knowledge...we are heading to Venice this weekend....Never know if we stay with the beach or wonder about.....we know someone that has some good luck in some areas and I think we fully intend on making this and explore our options kind of trip....It's a childless trip which gives us alot more flexibility.....Hopefully we find that viz is better before all the sun bathers and swimmers come in.....I will settle for anything more since it betters your chances there

PaulB- Where would you go at lemon bay, I was just at stump pass 8/2/03 I saw that you can get to the bay from there. Also you said there is a sand dig you can get into, whats that? Do you mean just sift in the sand?
