Driving down Ponte Vedra Boulevard feels a bit like cruising back in time. The quiet two-lane road is lined with stately palm trees that give way to a grand fountain marking the entrance to Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, a historic resort that has earned top accolades since it first opened in 1928.
Today, the resort is a little slice of old Florida, where you find respite from a busy world on golf greens, tennis courts and sandy shores. There are myriad modern amenities, of course, but one does not come to Ponte Vedra in search of the distractions that flood everyday life.
This is a spot that draws you in through dignified service, impeccable surroundings and the opportunity to pursue the finest thing in life: time well spent.
