The oceanfront strip. Large lots, direct beach access, and the highest-priced sales in Ponte Vedra Beach — this is the address people picture when they think of Ponte Vedra.
Ponte Vedra Boulevard runs along the Atlantic, and the homes on its east side are true oceanfront: private beach access, unobstructed views, and the pink coquina sand that gives this stretch its character. The west side is near-ocean — still a short walk to the beach, usually at a lower price point than direct oceanfront.
This is also where the trophy market lives. On Ponte Vedra Blvd at $3M and above, sales are infrequent and highly individual — a $5M oceanfront home and a $15M estate are not the same market, even on the same street. Pricing here is a comparable-sales exercise, street by street, and flood insurance, elevation, and construction matter as much as square footage.
Day to day, it is quiet. There is no commercial strip on the Boulevard itself; A1A, Sawgrass Village, and the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club are the short drive for dining, groceries, and the club. That quiet is the point — and the trade-off is that you drive for almost everything.

Oceanfront here is scarce — there is only so much Boulevard — which is why it holds value, but it is also the most exposed to insurance costs and storms. Budget both.
Yes — oceanfront homes have direct access, and near-ocean homes on the west side are a short walk.
