Venice, Florida, aptly named one of Coastal Living’s “Best Places to Live on the Coast” in 2020 and “Happiest Seaside Towns in America” in 2015.

Once a fishing and farming community, this city in the heart of Sarasota County has blossomed into not only a vacation destination, but also a place to live year-round where families go to the beach to hunt for prehistoric shark teeth, shop through the revitalized downtown, bike around the Venetian Waterway Trail and go fishing at the Venice Pier. It is an ideal location for a pediatric practice.
