Things to Do in Ponte Vedra

Ponte Vedra is the unincorporated community just south of Jacksonville Beach in St. Johns County, part of the Jacksonville Beaches area. It began as Mineral City, a mining settlement that grew up after valuable minerals were found in the beach sands in the 1910s, and it took the name Ponte Vedra Beach in 1928 as plans for a resort took shape.

Today Ponte Vedra is known around the world for golf. TPC Sawgrass is home to THE PLAYERS Championship, and the PGA TOUR is based here. Away from the fairways, the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve protects beach, dunes and marsh, Mickler’s Landing is one of the area’s best-known public beach accesses, and the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall hosts concerts throughout the year. Closer to home, Sawgrass Village gathers shops, restaurants and the First Coast Cultural Center, which hosts art classes and seasonal markets.
