Where to go? Where to go? We love Point of Rocks, just off Cresent Beach. Teaming with sealife, colorful coral, and bright green sea-grass meadows, you are always going to spot something interesting. Lido, Longboat, and Bird Key are all wonderful places to explore as well. Of course, if you are willing to go a little further, about 15 minutes away, is Venice, the Shark Tooth Capital of America. It's always fun to search for teeth. We love Point of Rocks, just off Cresent Beach.
