Whether you want to stroll the beach or head offshore in search of prehistoric monster-sized teeth, there is a reason why Venice, Florida considers itself the Shark Tooth Capital of the world.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Hat
  • Sunscreen
  • Booty bag
  1. Step 1

    Walk along the beach and look for the teeth in the sand. Scoop sand into a strainer and sift through the sand like a panhandler searching for gold.

  2. Step 2

    Patrol the shallows with a snorkel and mask. Using a sifting device underwater works remarkably well, too.

  3. Step 3

    Visit nearby Casey Key or Nokomis. While not in Venice, the teeth don't know it. The truth is that it isn't just Venice, but this section of Florida's coast is loaded with shark teeth.

  4. Step 4

    To find giant, prehistoric teeth, grab a scuba tank and sift through the sand offshore in the 15 to 20-foot water depth range. If there is a current, work up current.
