Ponte Vedra Beach, once known as Mineral City, is located in the northeast corner of St. Johns County, just south of Jacksonville Beach. Both the Intracoastal Waterway and Route A1A traverse the community north and south making accessibility possible by watercraft and automobile. Through carefully preserved zoning regulations, Ponte Verda Beach has retained its marshes, lakes and lagoons, helping the area to become one of the most naturally beautiful and most sought after areas in Jacksonville. Neighborhoods such as The Plantation, Sawgrass and Marsh Landing offer outstanding lifestyles (including six country clubs, over 60 tennis courts and 153 holes of golf) for activity enthusiasts.

The local population of approximately 24,500 and visitors alike are served by resorts such as Ponte Vedra Inn and Club and the Lodge at Ponte Vedra. Both offer four-star services and short-term rentals. Fine dining, shopping and entertainment are also readily available in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Ponte Vedra's claim to fame, however, is being the home of the international headquarters for both the PGA and the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals). Every March Sawgrass hosts the Players Championship and in October the ATP Tour hosts the Pro Tennis Classic, as well as exhibition matches and tournaments throughout the year. These organizations bring both money and prestige to the area and give Ponte Vedra Beach an opportunity to briefly shine on the international stage.

Along with these amenities comes a community with state-of-the-art medical facilities: Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville, Baptist Medical Center and Vicar's Landing are all easily accessible and only minutes away.
