A seamless ribbon of wave-kissed sand stretching from the sedate beachfront of elegant resorts to the untamed wilds of a magnificent maritime preserve, the beaches gave birth to Ponte Vedra. A search for rare minerals found hidden in these sands led to the establishment of Ponte Vedra in the 1920s. Soon, the true treasure of sunlit tranquility was discovered and ever since these sparkling sand beaches have provided generations with the ultimate seaside escape. Today, visitors still search the sands of Ponte Vedra's beaches – not for rare minerals, but for ancient sharks' teeth found here in sufficient quantities to delight beachgoers of all ages. The bright blue Atlantic, the gentle surge of sparkling surf and the beckoning sands – perfect.
