Fishing at Sharky’s Pier

### Fishing at Sharky’s Pier

Spend the morning on one of the most iconic stretches of Gulf coastline—walking the Venice Fishing Pier, spotting wildlife, swapping fishing stories, and catching sunset views over the water. Whether you’re bringing a rod or just coming to hang out, this is an easy, social outdoor meetup with plenty to explore: the pier, the beach, and the Brohard Park area.

Fishing is allowed from the pier without a fishing license, and there’s a bait shop partway out on the pier if you want to rent a rod or grab bait. sharkysonthepier.com ($16 for rod rental)

Lunch After (optional) – Sharky’s on the Pier (right at the base of the pier)
