"...the Pebble Beach of the East Coast..." Golf Digest
Poised along the uppermost Atlantic coast of Florida. Edged by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and marsh-rimmed St. Johns River to the west with historic St. Augustine and lntracoastal Waterway to the south and north respectively. Just 20 minutes southeast of downtown Jacksonville.
The barrier island is cuddled between many of the most magnificent 40-foot dunes in Florida and the weaving Intracoastal Waterway. Manicured seaside estates, resorts, villas and private escapes of the privileged are scattered throughout Ponte Vedra Beach.
In contrast, yet with similar sun-kissed purity, gnarled natural areas are blanketed with untamed, wind-twisted oaks and thick hammocks of wild palmettos; and threaded with miles of mazed marshes, lagoons, creeks and streams.
