Shark Tooth Hunting Tours Near Venice, Florida
Venice earned its title as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World — and the most productive shoreline is just south on Manasota Key. Join Sharkier's 90-minute guided eco-tour: wade in from the beach, sift with pro gear, and find real fossilized shark teeth. All gear included, $69.99 per person.
Why Hunt Just South of Venice?
Venice, Florida is known worldwide as the Shark Tooth Capital — but the famous Venice beaches were renourished years ago, which buried the fossil layer too deep for easy shore finds. The untouched beaches of Manasota Key, about 20 minutes south of Venice, still produce teeth right from the shoreline. That's where we guide every tour: no boat, no scuba gear, no experience needed. Read the full honest breakdown in our Venice vs. Manasota guide.
