Ponte Vedra Beach
Ponte Vedra is a quiet and peaceful Oceanside community,
located just a few miles east of metropolitan Jacksonville. It enjoys
an international reputation for housing the world headquarters for the
PGA Tour as well as the ATP
Tour, the Men's Association of Tennis Professionals. Foremost among
the community's unique features are its many truly exceptional golf
courses and an enviable quality of life. Ponte Vedra has long maintained
a controlled growth atmosphere - partially from necessity, as it's bordered
on the East by the Atlantic Ocean, on the South by a State wildlife
preserve, and on the West by the Intracoastal Waterway, and partially
from careful planning in the city's early years. The northeast Florida
region is known for its mild change of seasons, and Ponte Vedra has
a beautiful year-round climate suited for outdoor activities.
Jacksonville
Jacksonville, Florida has become an important railroad, land, and maritime
transportation hub for the Southeast, as well as a national computer
processing center for banking, insurance, and business data for industries
throughout the U.S. No less important, the region enjoys the benefits
of a growing international recognition for the talents of its leading-edge
Medical communities, spanning from the research and teaching facilities
at the Medical College of the University
of Florida to the state-of-the-art facilities at Mayo
Clinic, just west of Ponte Vedra. And, it's worth mentioning that
the region's government is experienced, forward thinking, and enjoys
the strong support of the community at large.
