Appalachian quartz and ancient coquina are the ingredients in the unusually soft white sand that lines the Atlantic coast along Ponte Vedra, forming 40-foot dunes. Here your clients can swim, sunbathe and collect seashells. The nearby wild palmettos, freshwater creeks, streams and lagoons turn Ponte Vedra's beaches into especially idyllic settings.

Helping to maintain the pristine quality of Ponte Vedra's natural surroundings is the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve. Nature-lovers come here to hike, fish and spot wildlife.
