Editor's Notes

North Jetty Beach guards the north side of Venice Inlet, where the rock jetty makes it a local favorite for fishing and for surfing some of the Gulf coast's rare rideable waves. It's also prime ground for hunting the fossilized shark teeth that wash up around Venice, the self-proclaimed 'Shark Tooth Capital of the World.'
