Unlike other galleries that mainly just
sell art, Clyde is world famous and has donated a huge amount of time to educating the public about our Florida natural habitat. The studio is open free to the public for tours and it's pretty
impressive to see the developing and processing of such large format photos to say the least.
Venice Beach is a quiet landmark on the Gulf. Just head west on
Venice and a few blocks later you can park at our original
Beach Pavilion. Enjoy this area with lifeguards on duty during posted hours. Look to the right and take a walk to the North
Jetty or look left to the Venice Fishing Pier.
The Venice
Fishing Pier extends over 300 feet out into the Gulf, where
locals & tourists gather to share old and new fishing stories. Take Venice
west and turn left on Harbor Drive. When you
see Sharky's, turn right. Take the walkway to the right and head past Sharky's Tiki Bar and you're there.
Don't forget to tell Sharky's "Bruno sent you."

dolphins, manatees, great blue heron, egrets, pelicans, wild parrots, etc.
