About Venice Beach, Florida
South Venice is the quieter end of Venice's shoreline — a narrow beach reached by a handful of neighborhood accesses rather than a big public lot, backed by sea grape and Australian pine instead of hotels. The Gulf here drops off a little faster than at the pier, so the surf can be a touch bigger on a west wind. It is a favorite for early-morning walkers, shell hunters and anyone who wants the water without the crowd.
What this camera is good for

Common questions
- Is the Venice Beach, Florida camera live?
- Yes, it is a live stream running 24 hours a day. If it looks dark, it is night at the camera.
- Does it cost anything to watch?
- No. Salty Forecast is completely free — no ads, no account, no paid tier, and nothing on this page is behind a sign-up.
- What are the tides at Venice today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Venice are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Venice Inlet (inside). Tide state changes what the beach looks like on camera — at low water the beach is at its widest.
- Why does the camera look hazy or dark?
- Live cameras sit outdoors: rain on the lens, salt spray, fog and low light all affect the picture. Night views are lit only by whatever is nearby. If the feed is down entirely, that is the operator's camera rather than this page — the conditions above still update.
