Date Posted：08/21/2008 02:15:01Copy HTML Does anyone have any first hand information regarding actual thonging practice in and around Venice Florida? The Venice published city restrictions seem rather victorian. Most Women's contemporary swimsuits would not strictly meet the anal cleft restriction or breast restriction as follows:
(1) Naked means insufficiently clothed so that the person has not covered, with fully opaque covering: a. The male or female genitals; b. The male or female pubic area; c. The male or female anal cleft; or d. The areola of the female breast, and any portion of the female breasts below the top of the areola. Please inform. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：07/10/2008 01:13:37Copy HTML Regarding: "Venice, FL and Nokomis, areas? Such as Casey Key and Nokomis Beach?"
I've worn them there several times and seen others too. Thongs are legal on Sarasota County beaches. Technically, they're illegal in the city limits of Sarasota which includes Lido beach. I've not seen this ban enforced in recent years, though I've seen one claim to the contrary. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：08/22/2008 09:14:00Copy HTML Don't know about the rest of Venice, but check the thread on Casperson Beach. It became my favorite this summer.
In practice, thongs are common (relatively), topfree not unusual and nude happens. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：08/23/2008 12:28:22Copy HTML Hi Beachfolks.
You must go to Caperson Beach not Venice. Caperson is county beach and you will not have any problems. Wish I could be with you there. OKEEMM

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/02/2008 11:00:32Copy HTML Went to Casperson today and noticed a sign at the entrance saying the beach is patrolled by officers from Sarasota County AND the City of Venice. I've seen no evidence this is a problem, just something to be aware of.

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/03/2008 07:05:06Copy HTML I was at Casperson in mid August wearing a thong. I didn't notice any signs but there were deputies of some kind driving the beach on 4 wheelers. I waived at them but didn't show them my bum. There were a few other thongin men out that day. One fellow from Polland told me it's not unusual for the patrol to cruise the beach. They move pretty slow so it's easy to see them.

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/29/2008 07:02:05Copy HTML can anyone suggest a good place to stay while visiting Venice and Casperson beach?

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：10/01/2008 01:46:34Copy HTML Tribijay- There is a Holiday Inn not far from the beach on US41 that is nice and clean. It is about a 15 minute drive to Casperon Beach. There are restaurants within walking distance. I spent almost 4 monts there back in 2005 working storm damage in Port Charlotte. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. We went down there about 3 weeks ago and stopped in after a day at the beach and used the pool. I would not put this on a 4 star list as maintenance is lacking in certain areas. But for the money and convenience it aint bad.

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：03/19/2019 12:01:56Copy HTML Vega, I prefer Caspersen's which is just south of Venice. Parking is free and there are showers between the lot and the beach. Walk south about 1/2 mile and you will find lots of fellow thongers. You may encounter some textile walkers who are shell looking, but they mind their own business; plus they are used to seeing thongers. My second choice is Turtle Beach on Siesta Key which is north of Venice. Here there is less of a walk. Over the dunes and you're there. Turtle is thong friendly but not as isolated as Caspersen"s. Thongs are legal at all county parks in Sarasota County. Enjoy! Late fall is a fabulous time for this area. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：03/19/2019 02:48:56Copy HTML Be aware that thongs are illegal at Venice beach (since it's owned by the city not Sarasota county). Caspersen is my favored beach in the area and it's right next to Venice beach. You can wear a thong or g-string anywhere on Caspersen. If you want to be with others wearing a thong or go nude then take a walk about 0.5-1.0 mile south. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：03/19/2019 03:13:12Copy HTML From a 2010 article in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune: The beach is advertised on a “thongboard” for people who like to wear
thongs and g-strings to the beach and on the Internet as a place to go
for nude swimming. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/10/2020 11:34:11Copy HTML Just spent 3 nights on the beach at Casey Key, on the north side of the Venice inlet, we were there Sunday to Wednesday. I wore a thong on beach entire time with no hassles just a couple WTF kinda of looks. Wore my thong everywhere with no cover up. Talked with many people who treated me completely normal. My wife and almost all of the women were wearing mostly cheeky or thong bottoms even saw one g-string. All in all a great stay, beach is nicer than Casperson as the sand is whiter than the dark sand on Casperson. We will be going back. Just down from where we stayed was the Nokomis Beach public access parking area for anyone that would like to go without renting a room.

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/21/2020 02:36:13Copy HTML My wife and I have been going to Casperson Beach for years. It is not only a nice beach for thonging but also for finding shark teeth. Wednesday is the best day to go...the ferry boat from the marina doesn’t run on Wednesdays so there are no textiles on the far south end.

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/21/2020 06:05:06Copy HTML I didn't realize there was a ferry at Casperson. We went a few times while visiting family and always parked at the north end. My wife wasn't interested in walking too far so we stopped about 100-200 feet after hitting the sand. We got there early, before the crowds so I wore a iKinsky big pouch thong. If anybody came by looking like they were going to set up next to us, I got up and stretched or whatever so they knew I was minimally dressed. I was really surprised at the number of families that set up near us. Although I was the only male in a thong, they all acted like it was no big deal.
I took a walk further south one day and saw a few nudes back towards the tree line. I was walking along the water so kept my clothes on.

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/02/2026 12:28:35Copy HTML The original post regarding Venice FL city ordinances is still valid as I checked them the other day. My wife an I will be in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee counties doing some touring next week and I booked one night at an Inn right on the beach in downtown Venice. We won't be able to be on the beach until late in the day but I of course would want to wear my thong. Wanted to see if others have an update to current situation with others wearing thongs in the main beach area or enforcement practices. Also here is the excerpt from the ordinance that focuses this to the public beach areas. So it seems it wouldn't cover other non-public areas including residential or hotel pools and such. Sec. 46-67. - Nude swimming or sunbathing in beaches, parks and public places. It shall be unlawful for any person to indecently expose his person by bathing, washing, swimming or wading, which shall include the act of sunbathing naked, at any bayou, canal, river, public beach or public park, on property owned by the city, at the waters adjacent to any beach, or at any public place within the city. |

Re：Venice Florida Date Posted：09/02/2026 05:51:28Copy HTML @CKWonderer I've worn them at the beaches in Venice without any issues and have seen quite a few others wearing them as well. |
