Paddle Midnight Pass: North Jetty Venice Single Kayak Rentals from Nokomis

On a clear late-afternoon drift through Midnight Pass, the North Jetty at Venice unfolds like a shoreline laboratory: low-angle light picks out the pale bands of coquina sand while the Gulf lays out a palette of glassy teal. North Jetty Venice - Single Kayak Rental - Hourly/Daily offers a straightforward way to get here—self-guided kayak rentals launched near Siesta Key and the address 1000 S Casey Key Rd, Nokomis, FL 34275, USA. Paddle past the ragged rock arm of the jetty, surf the incoming tide along sandbars, and watch bottlenose dolphins quarter the channel.

Wind-driven shells stud the shoreline; shoals of mullet flash tinder along the inlet, and the mangrove fringe on adjacent islands pins a green line between bay and open water. The rental program is flexible—hourly to seven-day options—so a sunrise reconnaissance and a sunset run can both fit a single trip. This self-guided model suits paddlers of all ages who want control over pace and routes without a guide.

Key features here are the North Jetty itself—a stone outcrop that channels strong currents and creates predictable eddies—and Midnight Pass, a tidal inlet that reworks sandbars with each season. Expect expanses of seagrass beds that host stingrays and juvenile fish, and broad flats where shorebirds forage: royal terns, pelicans, and willets are common. The area sits on low-lying barrier-island geology with pockets of coquina and fine quartz sand; currents and dredging have shaped the inlet since at least the early 20th century. Visitors often find fossilized shark teeth on nearby beaches, a small cultural draw tied to Venice’s reputation as the 'Shark Tooth Capital.'

Rentals meet near Siesta Key with check-in at the Siesta Key meeting point; equipment ranges from stable recreational single kayaks to daypacks and PFDs. With options from 1-hour jaunts to week-long rentals, this operation plugs into the larger Sarasota-Venice coastal playground: anglers dropping lines off the jetty, beachcombers sweeping for teeth, and paddlers threading mangrove fingers to the intracoastal. Plan around tide—incoming flows ease the paddle out of the inlet—bring reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof map or phone case, and a low-profile spray skirt if you expect wind.

Why book this trip? It's a low-commitment way to access dynamic Gulf waters and wildlife-rich estuaries without a guide. For families, photographers and paddlers who prize quiet, the North Jetty at Venice offers a compact coastal outing that scales from an hour to a week of island-hopping. Check the Siesta Key meeting point and 1000 S Casey Key Rd, Nokomis, FL 34275, USA for directions; the rental operator's online booking link enables same-day reservations. Whether practicing strokes, chasing sunset, or hunting shark teeth, a single kayak here makes a short, active outing on Florida’s Gulf-side coast anytime.
