There are several public beach access points in both Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach that can be located by Google searching for your nearest public access point. Many of the hotels and resorts also offer complimentary beach access points. You can ask the front desk to find out.
For guests looking to get out on the course, there is no shortage of options in Ponte Vedra. We recommend the Yards (address listed) as a fun, relaxed option that is open to the public and good for groups. Additionally, many hotels and resorts in the area will offer golf access, which you can inquire about at the front desk. For more golf-related information, email Chip Keller at chipkeller@icloud.com.
