Answer

Caspersen Beach in Venice is known for its natural, unspoiled coastline and is a favorite for shelling, walking, and enjoying a quieter beach experience compared to some of the more developed Gulf Coast beaches. Access can be straightforward, but parking availability can vary depending on the season.

By May, the beach is generally accessible and less crowded than the peak winter months. You’ll find it much easier to get parking compared to February, when seasonal visitors are more common.

Recommended parking options:

Main Caspersen Beach Access: There is a parking lot at the southern end of Venice Avenue, which provides direct access to the beach. This is usually the easiest spot to park and walk to the sand.
Beachfront streets: Some limited street parking is available near the beach access points, but be mindful of posted restrictions.
Venice Beach Park: A short drive north, this park has larger parking areas and public restrooms, and you can walk south along the beach to Caspersen if you don’t mind a little extra sand walking.

Additional tips:

Arrive early in the day, especially on weekends, for the best parking spots.
Bring water and sun protection; amenities are minimal directly at Caspersen, keeping it very natural.
Beach footwear is recommended for walking the dunes and shelling along the shore.

Overall, Caspersen Beach is very doable in May, with easier access and ample parking compared to the busier winter months, making it a pleasant day trip to enjoy the Gulf Coast's quiet, sandy shores.
