About this swimming hole
Caspersen Beach Park in Venice is a county beach known for swimming plus shark-tooth hunting along its Gulf shoreline. Sarasota County lists swimming as an activity, and a nature trail runs through the park. Vehicle parking, restrooms, and the playground remain closed after 2024 storm damage, so visitors currently walk or bike in from South Brohard Park or the Venetian Waterway Park Trail.
