Ponte Vedra Beach
Public beach access for non–resort guests is minimal in most areas because of heavily restricted parking. But Mickler's Landing (pronounced Mike-ler), south of most residences and offering free public parking, is a great access point. The beach is also famous as a place to find fossilized sharks' teeth. Amenities: lifeguards (seasonal); parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: solitude; sunrise; walking.
