Daycations in Florida

When I am travelling I wish there was a Web Site that wasn't full of Ads and Hype that basically said this is what the Locals DO. No the Bullcrap canned restuarant reviews and list of attractions because I can fidn that everywhere BUT I mean a real no kidding list of things to do in local areas that are what the Locals Do. The people may not be able to do them if they are just visiting BUT at least it woudl give them a good feel for what is happening our towns.

Here is a Perfect item along this topic.

What the Florida Locals that visit Venice, Florida do. Sharktooth hunting. I know this sounds like a load of HooHa but they still do look for them if they go to the beach and you have to get to a beach that is not picked over and hasn't been resurfaced in a while and the best place to do that is near Casperson Beach.  Find it by heading to Venice and then once in town turn towards the water anywhere and find the road called HARBOR DRIVE. head south on this until you go past the airport and you will be on a dirt road and it ends at Casperson Beach.  Find a little place on the sand and right where the waves are crashing you sift through the sand and you will find Sharks Teeth.

This is a Two Hour haul of Teeth. Not too bad. One thing you may need is a Sifter of some sort. I've seen all kinds from Homemade square framed with Screen sifters to Kids toys sifters to Kitchen Collanders. And they all work. You can also snorkel here and see them just laying on the bottom in the sand. Some of the more experienced people actually dive about 100ft of the beach in about 15ft of water and they are the ones that find the large teeth. This is an Excellent free thing to do and it is fun for people of every age.
