About This Dive Spot

Caspersen Beach in Venice, FL — the “Shark Tooth Capital of the World” — is a fossil hunter’s paradise. Its shell-rich, natural shoreline hides millions of ancient shark teeth, from tiny black gems to rare Megalodon finds. Search along the surf with a sifter, or take it up a notch by diving just offshore, where even bigger treasures await in the sandy bottom.
