The supply of sharks teeth, while not completely gone, has declined greatly and 99% of the ones you find today are extremely small. A lot of the beach has completely... More

I love to ride my bike from Venice center to Casperson. I find a quiet space to sit and read. It is my beach. I wish I could go every day, but I can't. It is my favorite beach. You can find a spot there where you feel you are totally alone. More
