Unlike other galleries that mainly just sell art, Clyde is
world famous and has donated a huge amount of time to educating the
public about our Florida natural habitat. The
studio is open free to the public for tours and it's pretty
impressive to see the developing and processing of such large format
photos to say the least.
Venice
Beach
is
a quiet landmark on the Gulf. Just head west on Venice and a
few blocks later you can park at our original Beach Pavilion.
Enjoy this area with lifeguards on duty during posted hours. Look to
the right and take a walk to the North Jetty or look left to the
Venice Fishing
Pier.
The
Venice Fishing
Pier extends over
300 feet out into the Gulf, where locals & tourists gather
to share old and new fishing stories. Take Venice
west and turn left on Harbor Drive. When you see
Sharky's, turn right. Take the walkway to the right and head past
Sharky's Tiki Bar and you're there.
Don't
forget to tell Sharky's "Bruno sent you."
