Inshore fossil spots around Sarasota/Nokomis/Venice?

Hi guys!  I’ve got guests visiting here in Nokomis who enjoyed the fossil hunting in the beach and some of the intercoastal island shores, and wanted to know if there were any waterways good for fossil wading around here.  I’ve done that in some creeks up in Gainesville but no idea where to go around here.  If anyone has a good spot or two please pm me and let me know!  
 

I enjoy the beaches around Venice like Caspersen but haven’t really had that much luck; a few Meg fragments and plenty of very pretty beach worn shark teeth and burrfish/pufferfish plates, which I love, they are so glossy!  Any tips for beach hunting here?  Thanks!

Follow up, went out to a stretch of the Myakka for a scout around but it was a little too deep and sandy where we were.. plus also there was a big ol alligator. And we had just seen on the news how this fella got bit on the noggin by one while fossiling.  So we demurred.
