Three Towns, One Coast
The 941 area code covers a stretch of Florida's Gulf Coast that most visitors only glimpse from the highway. Venice, Nokomis, and Osprey sit side by side along the Intracoastal Waterway, each with its own character — yet all sharing the same turquoise water, white sand, and laid-back Gulf Coast rhythm.
Venice is the cultural anchor: a walkable downtown, world-famous shark tooth beaches, and a thriving arts scene. Nokomis is the local's secret — quieter, wilder, and home to the legendary Friday night drum circle. Osprey is the nature lover's base camp, with Oscar Scherer State Park and miles of paddling trails right at the doorstep.
