Visitor Information

If beautiful beaches, world class tennis, and professional golf appeal to you, you have chosen the right place to visit.   For tradition, variety, quality and year round enjoyment, there is no other geographical area that compares, but it is the people that make Ponte Vedra Beach so special.  You will find the ambiance of a small town here, but with the flavor of sophistication found in larger cities.

Our beaches are among the prettiest in Florida.  Here seaside resorts and private escapes are crested in the twisted oaks and hammocks of wild palmettos. Miles of freshwater streams, creeks and lagoons course through the natural environs accentuating the natural beauty of the beaches.

Just inland, some of the most prestigious and scenic golf courses in the world attract professional tournaments including the PGA TOUR’S “fifth” major, THE PLAYERS Championship, with a 6 million dollar purse. Ponte Vedra Beach, with its 135 professional caliber holes, is acclaimed as the Pebble Beach of the East Coast.  Our signature course, acclaimed "the seventh best resort course in America by Golf Digest, is the 6,857-yard TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course with its notoriously difficult island green, one of the "World's Most Photographed Holes.”

After having your fill of golf, grab your racquet and play a few sets at one of the 44 professional caliber tennis courts. The ATP headquarters tennis center has eleven courts emulating the surfaces of the Grand Slam tournaments, including red clay and fresh grass. The Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa, and The Lodge & Club at Ponte Vedra Beach also have courts.

Other activities available nearby include deep sea and freshwater charters for those interested in fishing, as well as sailing, wind surfing and jet-ski rentals for the more active vacationers. On nature walks, the careful eye may glimpse a loggerhead turtle or one of the 177 species of birds. Of course, elegant shopping and fine dining are available throughout the area, after a day filled with excitement and appreciation for the natural wonders of Ponte Vedra Beach.

So come visit and visit often.  Many visitors are so charmed with our town they return to stay.  Perhaps you will too!
