Venice Main Street Shopping and Dining in Paradise


Along the majestic palm-lined main street (or W. Venice Ave) of historic Downtown Venice, one is captivated by the array of brightly colored shops and restaurants. This area has much to offer to both tourists and locals alike. Whether it’s shopping, dining, or taking in a show, there are lots of things to keep you busy in Paradise.

Shopping is one of the highlights of downtown. There is something for everyone. When it comes to fashion, you’ll find chic, trendy styles at Uptown Girl and Jo-Lee’s Boutique; island and resort wear at Sun Bug, The Scarlet Macaw, and St. Marco Boutique; children’s designs at Nana’s; and for the men, Captain’s Landing has all the best name brands. Gifts and accessories are easy to find at the Green Parrot Gift Shop, Fraser’s Island Nook, and Mrs. Candlewick’s Shoppe. And who can go shopping in Venice without browsing through the seashells at Sea Pleasures and Treasures?

If you love to decorate like I do, Seaside Chic has it all. I immediately fell in love with the casual and elegant designs this home furnishing store has to offer. Transform your home into a seaside oasis with their expert help.

What will it be for lunch or dinner today? Japanese at Bushido, Italian at Cassariano’s, continental at CafĂ© Venice, French at LePetit Jardin, or good old American fare at TJ Carney’s. For dessert, head over to Bresler’s for some homemade ice-cream or Kilwin’s for their outstanding chocolates and fudge.

Now it’s time to relax and enjoy a show at the Venice Theater (formerly the Venice Little Theater), one of the largest and most active community theaters in the country. There are always some great shows on the venue so a season pass is the best deal.

Nick Herron & Kathleen Herron of the Herron Group would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on Sarasota Barrier Island's of Casey Key, Manasota Key, Island of Venice, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat or Bird Key. Call 941.350.5035
