How To Find Shark Teeth On The Beach In South West Florida - Manasota Beach

On our recent summer vacation to South West Florida, we decided to go looking for shark teeth on the beach. Venice Beach is known as the shark teeth capital of the world, but we wanted to go somewhere less crowded. Other beaches in the area, which are well known for beaches for finding shark teeth are Caspersen Beach, Blind Pass and Manasota Beach all just south of Venice Beach. You can read about our middle son's shark teeth adventure on the kids blog too.

Make sure to see the guide below for how to find shark teeth.

We were actually headed for Caspersen Beach, but because this beach is known for having rocks, we decided to try Manasota Beach instead. Manasota beach is a beautiful beach with long stretches of white sand mixed with sea shells, and yes you can find lots of shark teeth on Manasota Beach.

You can find Manasota Beach at 8570 Manasota Key Road, Manasota Key, FL.

Zoo Miami Free Admission September 29th, 2012

If you are looking for a Zoo Miami discount, you can sign up for Recyclebank, and get a - BOGO Zoo Miami  here.

On a personal note, I can highly recommend getting to the Zoo as early as possible, as it can get hot in the Zoo here in South Florida. Renting a family big will also be a splurge well worth it, because Zoo Miami is enormous, and from personal experience I can say that walking the entire zoo is tough for both young and old.

Besides free admission to Zoo Miami, there are lots of other museums which you can attend free this Saturday. For a complete list of free admission museums in Florida go here.

Zoo Miami Opening Hours:

9:30 AM - 5:30 PM
