VENICE SHARK TOOTH TOUR

Fossilized shark teeth are commonly found along the Venice coastline, but most visitors are limited to crowded beaches and surface finds.

This tour is built differently.

Our Venice Shark Tooth Tour takes you by boat to harder-to-access areas where you can actively hunt for fossil shark teeth using shallow water sifting and optional snorkeling.

This is a hands-on fossil hunting experience designed so every guest can participate — whether you prefer standing in shallow water or exploring slightly deeper areas.

No experience needed. Just come ready to get in the water and find something.

 Venice, Florida is world-known for fossilized shark teeth. Over millions of years, prehistoric sharks lived and fed along this coastline, leaving behind teeth that still surface today.

This tour focuses on actively working productive fossil areas, not just sightseeing or walking the beach.

Fossil Junkies is known for real-world fossil experience, small group trips, and guiding guests into areas where they have the best chance of success.

This experience is designed so every guest stays engaged, whether sifting in shallow water or snorkeling nearby.

 Most people searching for shark teeth in Venice stay on public beaches.

This trip gives you access to less pressured areas that are harder to reach on foot — where fossil deposits are often more productive.

Getting off the main beaches is one of the biggest advantages when it comes to finding shark teeth.

 Snorkeling areas typically range from 6 to 15 feet of water, depending on visibility, weather, and sea conditions.

Guests who are comfortable in the water can explore these sections while others continue sifting in shallower areas.

Every trip is adjusted to match the safest and most productive conditions available.
