World-class golf and tennis, as well as watersports and resorts, await you in Ponte Vedra Beach.
This city's 40 foot sand dunes are among the highest in Florida, and from their peak they race down to white sand beaches made from Appalachian quartz and ancient coquina. Seaside resorts and private escapes are crested in the twisted oaks and hammocks of wild palmettos. Miles of fresh-water streams, creeks, and lagoons course through the natural environs, accentuating the natural beauty of the beaches.
Just inland, some of the most prestigious and scenic golf courses in the world attract the pros. Home of the PGA TOUR, TPC Sawgrass hosts THE PLAYERS Championship each year and challenges pros on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course - Golf Magazine's 9th ranked "Top 100 Courses You Can Play." As pros compete for the $9.5 million purse May 7-13, 2012 during THE PLAYERS Championship, they will face the infamous 17th Island Green, one of the most challenging holes in the world. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course, Dye's Valley Course, and all other amenities at TPC Sawgrass are open to the public, so golfers of all skill levels can experience the same thrills as the pros.
The Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, Sawgrass Marriott Resort, and The Lodge and Bath Club at Ponte Vedra Beach have courts that host ATP events and provide quality lodging and fine dining.
Golf and tennis aren't the only activities available in Ponte Vedra. Nearby deep sea and freshwater charters are available for those interested in fishing, as well as sailing, wind surfing, and jet-ski rentals for the more active vacationers.
Of course, elegant shopping and fine dining are available throughout the area, after a day filled with excitement and appreciation for the natural wonders of Ponte Vedra.

I'm going here it 2 weeks! we're staying at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club (pvresorts.com). I didn't know about the deep sea fishing - but we'll definitely have to check it out now! Thanks for the information.
