Just 30 miles south is Naples, a section of Long Beach in the middle of the bay, it was built about the same time. Notice the old RedLine (light rail) left its foot print down one side and goes across the navel station and down the coast, through Seal Beach.

Not all of them have water and roads in Gold Coast City, Australia

I was going to mention Cape Coral — I am currently living there and have to navigate around those ridiculous canals every day. Many of the roads in this town are interrupted by these waterways and continue on the other side, with no way to get over there than to drive around the end of the canal or find a bridge. You’ll think you’re headed right toward your destination, but the water always manages to screw up your plans.

Also worth mentioning is another Venice: Venice, FL (link below). It’s not nearly as exciting to look at, but does share the common name. The entire city is on an island, which is pretty cool. I grew up there, so I had to give it props. This Venice is more commonly known as the sharks tooth capital of the world, and is also supposedly the best surf spot on the Gulf Coast — there are regular competitions held here.

Woo! Venice, CA resident here (Hi Kev) Veince also just celebrated it's 100-year anniversary a couple months ago. Great place to visit when you go to LA, great beach and GREAT restaurants. I gained a "freshman 15" when I first moved there.

These are probably pretty common in Florida. This entry reminded me of Marco Island where I vacationed years ago.
