More commonly known as the "South Jetty" or Casey's Pass to area residents, Humphris Park is widely known as the perfect spot for fishing, surfing (during season), picnics, sailboat watching, and enjoying the beautiful Florida sunsets along the Gulf of Mexico. Located at the very end of Tarpon Center Drive on the Island of Venice, the 2-mile park is a great place to relax.

This is a wonderful spot to bring the whole family as there are restrooms on-site, picnic table, park benches, and of course, the iconic Anita's Sandcastle. Known for the "World's Best Beach Dog", Anita's is fast becoming one of Florida's famous Hot Dog Stands. But hot dogs are not the only thing on the menu: Up early for the first catch of the day? Come by for coffee and breakfast! Polish sausage, nachos and cheese, and an array of cold beverages and frozen treats are on hand to cool you off from a day in the sun.

The South Jetty and Anita's Sandcastle are just around corner from the Herron Group listing at the Beleza and across the Jetty to Casey Key.

Nick Herron & Kathleen Herron of the Herron Group would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on any of the golf course communities or Sarasota's Barrier Island of Casey Key, Manasota Key, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key or Island of Venice. Call 941.350.5035.

Beach, Bay or Back Nine...Live the Dream

The approach of the 4^th of July holiday weekend brings on a time of reflection. Reflection of the struggles we overcame to become the great nation we are today. Despite the economic hardships we face as a nation; despite the political, religious, and sociological differences we face as a people, we come together every year at this time to celebrate our independence.

The first Independence Day celebration was said to take place in Philadelphia in 1777. They held an official dinner, 13-gun salute, parades, picnics, fireworks, and decorated in red, white, and blue. Today we celebrate in much the same manner. Our cities and towns hold parades, our families get together for picnics and BBQ's, and then we all, in our own way, watch the fireworks. Whether it is out over the Statue of Liberty, over the Golden Gate Bridge, on the TV, or while sitting on the beach in paradise, we will watch the red, white, and blue bursts of light gleaming across the sky.

We will be watching from our own paradise listing (The Beleza on Venice Beach unit 704) as the fireworks burst over the Jetties. This year, as in all years past and all to come, those fireworks will bring on a renewed sense of how proud we are to live in this country, how proud we are of our service men and women who fight for our freedom, and how lucky we are to be living the American dream.

On the Island of Venice as of today according to MY Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service there are 84 active single family homes for sale priced from $97,800 to $2,700,000. There are 7 single family homes in sale pending and 33 homes have sold this year.

There are 153 active condos on the market priced from $64,900 to $1,599,000. There are 18 condos in sale pending and 59 Island of Venice condos have sold this year.

Nick Herron & Kathleen Herron of the Herron Group / RE/MAX Alliance Group would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on Sarasota Barrier Islands of Island of Venice, Casey Key, Siesta Key, Manasota Key, Longboat and Lido Key. Call 941.350.5035 or 800.789.6580.

Beach, Bay or Back Nine...Live the Dream

This is a Black Drum caught off my dock on Robert's Bay. They are delicious eating. This week we also caught some Red Fish and Snook.

We clean the fish and cook them in a huge cast iron skillet over the gas grill outside with lots of blackened redfish seasoning and butter. A side of roasted red garlic potatoes and tossed salad - yummy!

Come to Venice and fish off the Jetty's or any public park. By the way our beaches are all public parks - with free parking and plenty of it.
