This is one of our favourite places to watch the sunset whilst watching dolphin & pelican, it can get busy on evenings of a good sunset so getting there early ensures a good spot at the pier end. We cannot get enough of this place and can't wait to go back next year

This is a beautiful small city where nearly every home has access to the Gulf of Mexico right in their back yard. If you love to go boating this is the place for you. The cost of visiting or especially living is very very reasonable. The people are nice and very friendly. The coldest winter temperature is not very often below 50 degrees. Swim year around, citizens grow oranges, grapefruit, avocados, mangos, bananas, tangerines, lemons, limes and mangos right in their back yard. This place should be called paradise.

Venice Fishing Pier, 1600 Harbor Dr. S., Venice Island, FL 34285. OPEN DAILY. Fishing License is NOT Required. The Venice Fishing Pier is located at Brohard Park on the south end of the island of Venice, and is owned by the City of Venice. The 700-foot Pier is a great location for fishing and to end the day watching a beautiful sunset. Connected to Sharky's on the Pier, the only beachfront restaurant in the Venice area, the Pier offers Papa's Bait Shop, with live & frozen bait, coffee, treats, jackets, shirts, and more. Nearby are six picnic shelters, two sand volleyball courts, and public restrooms with showers. Open at all times. There is no fee to access the Pier and avid and amateur fisherman of all ages can fish from the Pier without a fishing license.
Great fishing pier or you can just take a walk on the pier and take in the views, watch the sunset or check out the fish being caught!

So much has been done along the Riverwalk to educate people about tides, estuaries and sea life and all the while you are enjoying breathtaking views of the river. The “living room” has cement, yes cement lounge chairs. There are swings to sit and relax in and watch the world go by. There also is a Water splash pad and colorful playground with lots of new equipment. Congratulations to the designers of this walkway.

My first visit to this location and I was very surprised at how extremely nice the entire place is. Can't wait to stop and try one of the restaurants. Love the marina.

Sugden Regional Park is situated around sixty acre Lake Avon which was created as a borrow pit for fill used in constructing and expanding the Tamiami Trail. The land for the park was acquired in 1995 with financial assistance from the Florida Communities Trust and Florida Forever Funds. The park was dedicated in 1998. It is named for Herbert J. Sugden, a former Ralston Purina Corp. worker and author turned philanthropist. Sugden Park has one of the only fresh water beaches in Collier County. Sand for the beach was taken from Collier County schools as they replaced their recreation areas with mulch. After a toddler drowned at the beach in a 2013, a loaner life jacket program was started so that anyone can borrow a life jacket here as well as at other beaches in Naples. There is a sailing center in the park that offers water skiing and sailing classes. The park also has a playground, sand volleyball court, paddle boat rentals, and a restroom. There are eight large gazebos that can be rented from the Parks and Recreation Department for private events. The large field, stage, and amphitheater at the park can also be rented. My favorite part of the park was the long nature trail that winds around the lake. Events are held at the park such as the American Sprint Triathlon that includes an early morning swim across the lake, and the water cross jet skiing races that are held in mid September. A farmers market is held in the fall and there is a large celebration on the Fourth of July. Come out and enjoy this natural treasure in east Naples.
