  Ponte Vedra Beach is
a town of about 32,000 residents located on the Atlantic Ocean between Jacksonville,
Florida and historic Saint Augustine, Florida - America's oldest city.
Located at the northern tip of St. Johns county, it has what many consider
the finest schools in Florida. Ponte Vedra Beach is the world headquarters of the Professional
Golfer's Association (PGA) Tour and world headquarters of the Association
of Tennis Professionals (ATP). The World Golf Village
and the World Golf Hall of Fame are just a few minutes' drive away. More than two dozen
professionals make Ponte Vedra Beach home. The PGA Tour Player's Championship tournament
happens each March at the Stadium Course at the PGA Tour Headquarters in Ponte Vedra
Beach.
Ponte Vedra Beach is on a barrier island created by the Intracoastal
Waterway. A magnificent beach stretches its entire seven mile length, and it is bordered
on the south by the 13-mile long Guana State Park which is inhabited by
thousands of magnificent birds (including great herons and bald eagles)!
Strategically located, Ponte Vedra Beach is only 30 minutes from downtown
Jacksonville (home of the NFL Jaguars), 30 minutes from our excellent
International Airport, and 25 minutes from Saint Augustine. Orlando and Disney
World are only slightly more than a 2 hour drive down I-95.
Ponte Vedra Beach is a golf mecca, home of several excellent
country clubs with 153 holes of championship golf. It is also home of a number of
marvelous private oceanfront clubs.
Outstanding fishing and sailing abound on
the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and on the magnificent St. Johns River,
which flows through the middle of the city of Jacksonville.
