Aerial view of Venice Island beachfront with Gulf of Mexico

Venice Island · Florida Gulf Coast

The Gulf,
Your Doorstep

Beachfront comfort on Venice Island — minutes from Siesta Key's white sands, downtown Venice charm, and world-class saltwater fishing.

Scroll

A quieter stretch of Florida coast, where the pace slows and the water stays warm.

Sandbar Beach Resort sits on the sheltered side of Venice Island, offering easy access to the Gulf of Mexico without the crowds. Our guest rooms blend Florida simplicity with thoughtful comfort — think ceiling fans, private balconies, and views that change with the light.

Whether you're here for the snorkeling trails at John Ringling Causeway, the shelling on nearby Siesta Key, or simply a weekend to do nothing at all, Sandbar is a place to arrive and stay.

More than a place to sleep

Venice Island is known for its calm waters, abundant wildlife, and slow rhythm. From morning kayaks through the mangroves to afternoon shelling at Low Tide Beach — where visitors regularly find fossilized shark teeth — every day here feels different.

Our concierge can help you plan fishing charters, dolphin tours, or simply point you toward the best spot for a quiet evening watch the pelicans dive.
