This is a must visit. Iconic Sharky’s and their upscale Fins restaurants are right on the beach near the Venice Fishing Pier. Good food and nice beach vibe.

This place has an "Early Bird" menu, but you must order by 5:30 pm. They also have a "2 for 1" Happy Hour until 6 pm, but it is only in the bar area. Our favorite Early Bird option is the Prime Rib. You will be glad you went, but be sure to get a reservation.
