Venice Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

A Venice vacation will take you to Louisiana’s southernmost tip. A spectacular drive from nearby New Orleans, Venice is surrounded by the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. So if fishing tops your the list of things to do, travel to Plaquemines Parish and Venice. The area is home to citrus orchards and oil rigs, and the flat landscape offers a breathtaking view, perfect for family vacations or romantic getaways. Nearby attractions include Fort Jackson, a masonry fort that defended New Orleans in the 1800’s.

Venice Lodging choices include the friendly folks at the Lighthouse Lodge, featuring a restaurant with good Louisiana cooking and fresh seafood. Venice accommodations aren’t only on land. The Venice Marina offers houseboats with overnight accommodations and meals. And what family vacation to Venice would be complete without a fishing trip. There are far more boats than buildings in Venice. Charter a boat or join a group charter for a day or more of deep sea fishing. Wildlife abounds in Venice, and you’re like to see egrets, heron, pelicans and all varieties of ducks. Charter a boat from Paradise Outfitters, promising the best saltwater fishing in the continental United States.

A visit to Venice will be unforgettable.
