Coastal by Nature

Ponte Vedra Beach's air carries a trace of salt and stillness. At Mickler’s Landing, morning walks lead to coquina shells and skies streaked in pastels. Beyond that, the beaches stretch wide and quiet, with long, walkable shorelines, windswept dunes, and boardwalks that ease you into the day.
