Ponte Vedra Beach
Beautiful Beaches, Luxurious Resorts & Much More
There's a reason why CNN called Ponte Vedra Beach "One Of The Top 22 Can’t-Miss Beaches in The U.S." Between the beaches, the reserves, and the activities, there is something for everyone in this seaside suburb of Jacksonville. Located on the scenic A1A, Ponte Vedra (pont-eh vee-druh) Beach offers a blend of laid-back luxury and natural beauty. Miles of freshwater streams, creeks, and lagoons course through the natural area of Ponte Vedra Beach while waves crash against white sand beaches. We encourage guests to take full advantage of the nearby cultural and recreational opportunities here.
