Sharky’s on the Pier, located directly on the beach, has been serving up fresh seafood, burgers, drinks and more for over 30 years.

Visit the upper deck and take in the panoramic views of Venice. Step off the dining deck and let your feet meet the sand of one of the region’s most beautiful beaches. Search for fossilized sharks’ teeth, play volleyball on the sand courts, or fish from the public Venice Fishing Pier, where no license is required.
