Rather than go out to dinner on one of the busiest nights of the year, especially during tourist and snowbird season, we decided to pick up dinner and go to the beach for sunset. We grabbed drinks and our chairs and made a quick stop at Sharky’s Snack Shack for some delicious shrimp. There are several beaches to choose from in Venice, but we like the one that the tourists don’t use as much. It was quite crowded at a usually quiet beach, but we found parking and it is easy to spread out.
As you can see, it was a beautiful sunset, quite warm until the sun went down and as usual, was relaxing sitting in our chairs, talking and enjoying a cocktail. It never gets old that this is something we can do on a whim - no vacation plans required. Life is good in Florida.
