Venice sits at the very end of the road where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico, a frontier town defined by world-class angling and life on the water. At dawn, charter boats roll out from Venice Marina and Cypress Cove Marina & Lodge, chasing tuna, redfish, and speckled trout in some of the most productive waters in North America. Nature lovers find equal thrills in the marsh and barrier islands of the Delta National Wildlife Refuge, the offshore bird rookeries of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge, and the kayak- and airboat-ready bayous of Pass-a-Loutre Wildlife Management Area.
Daily life is shaped by the river, the Gulf, and a tight-knit community spirit. Families are served by the Plaquemines Parish School Board, with Boothville-Venice Elementary and South Plaquemines High drawing students from across the lower parish. Essential services and shopping often route up Highway 23 through Belle Chasse toward New Orleans, while local opportunities connect to the working waterfront via the Plaquemines Port Harbor & Terminal District and parish programs from the Plaquemines Parish Government. Residents embrace an outdoors-forward lifestyle—stilted homes, impeccable storm prep, and evenings spent swapping fishing stories as ships slide downriver to the sea—in a setting as raw as it is rewarding within Plaquemines Parish.
Whether you’re buying your first camp or selling a longtime family home, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a local real estate pro who knows Venice’s waters, neighborhoods, and market.
